ThreeHundredSeventyThree-The End

So leave it to me to be late! This will be my last entry for this blog as it was actually scheduled to end over a week ago. What difference a year makes! I have a new job, a new hobby, and am beginning to have a new outlook on life. The me with the old outlook would have said since I didn't post on this every day as implied in the title of the blog that this enterprise was a failure. The me with the beginning of a new outlook can look at this project with a more balanced sense of perspective and say that there were some successes and some lessons to be learned even if I didn't achieve what I initially set out to achieve. I learned that attempting to continue with the discipline of a project like 100 Days for a full 365 does not fit in to where I am in my life right now (and definitely not at this time last year!). It has actually made me appreciate the 100 Days project and those who do have the discipline to be creative every day. If (and that's a BIG if) I decide to continue blogging after 100 Days 2011 is over it will be more spontaneous and hopefully better. I also learned that regarding even casual photography I have A LOT to learn. I have already begun to at a minimum attempt to be more editorial and judicious with not only the shots i attempt to take but especially the shots I choose to share. To those of you who did slog it out through this crazy year (and eight days) with me, thank you. It means the world to me.
