As I've been stating since before this project 365 ended, year 3 has, for some reason, been a bit difficult to go through. I guess, if I had to analyze the reason for this, it was because somewhere along the way, the passion to continue with the project just left me, and it was just sheer stubborn attitude to get things done - even if I had to make some adjustments, that kept this project going.
It may have also been because of the lack of new experiences, the need to look for something new without making what is routinary too boring or repetitive... for example, I could show my new comics, again and again every week or even month - but, so what?
Also, I guess I had less new camera tricks to learn - thus making hte experience routinary too. But... to be fair, the project does cover a year... in fact, in this case, a leap year (hence the day 366 - after all, there was a Feb 29 in it right?), and if I review the year that was, this will give me a glimpse of how I spent my year that was the 2nd quarter of 2012 through the first quarter of 2013. Naturally, I end this with a picture of me as well... one I had to search since I rarely take a shot of me, and Bernice or the others have not been taking the camera to take a shot of me. Still, this is the latest almost solo shot of me that I could find to represent how I look this day.
So now what? I don't think I'll do a year 4. Like I said, I don't have the interest right now - but who knows? I may miss it and change my mind some time. Just that, right now... that won't happen. So goodbye Project 365... or in this particular case, Project 366. It's been an experience... and I'm sure I'll thank myself for the memory some time. But three years doing something is kinda long... I mean, think about it. That's 365+365+366 pictures, or 1095 pictures... 1096 opportunities to practice photography.
Wow!
When I know what I'll be doing next, I'm sure I'll blog about it too.
