2009 365 project wrap up

I did it!

I can't believe it is over! The year looks so short when it is smooshed into a collage, doesn't it? Actually, when I look back on the posts, it seems to have gone by pretty quickly too. (and the winter seems shorter, which doesn't seem possible) I really thought that maybe I would forget to do it a few days here and there, but I didn't. It totally became second nature to look at everything as if it was a photo opportunity...and as I mentioned a couple weeks back, it really made me practice and get better at composing, shooting and editing. Since I got my SLR back in Feb, I really owe this project a lot of gratitude for learning how to use that thing as well. As they say, practice makes perfect.

Which brings me to 2010. I am not up for another 365 project. I need a break from the daily grind (...but I could definitely see myself doing it again in 2011!) And so I decided to take on different project - one that could arguably be harder than the 365 actually. (that's coming up in a separate post.)

So that's it! Below are 15 of my favorite images in no particular order and some stats from the year.
