2011 was the year I tried out Project365. It was fun, but also rather brutal. I liked some of the photos I ended up postings, but some were not up to the artistic standards I set for myself[ref]Not that I have specific guidelines for those standards, I just know some of the photos I posted weren’t up to them.[/ref]. These are most of the photos I was pleased with[ref]A few were left out of this list since they seemed so similar to others that I did include[/ref]: Day 355: Lightbulb, Day 348: And What Do We Have Here?, Day 339: Painted Fire, Day 338: the Intarwebs, Day 319: Dwindled Dawn, Day 318: Orion on the Rise, Day 316: Aim for the Moon, Day 299: A Person Needs a Little Madness, Day 290: Darkness Shall Be The Light, Day 272: In Loving Memory, Day 257: Lost in the Couch, Day 238, Day 207: Little Bit of Sunshine, Day 193, Day 188, Day 171, Day 148: Nom Noms, Day 146: Daylight’s End, Day 141, Day 133, Day 105, Day 085, Day 084: Turtles all the way down, Day 074, Day 065, Day 060, Day 050, Day 046, Day 033, Day 028, Day 026 & Day 012[ref]Huh, I knew I’d posted some photos I liked but I didn’t remember quite this many. Guess doing a recap post can be good for ye ol’ ego.[/ref].
It was also the year I set a goal of reading 150 books and according to GoodReads I exceeded it by a good margin[ref]Including graphic novels, I went through 214 books in 2011[/ref]. 2011 was a time of much DIY madness and more than a little stress.
Unfortunately 2012 so far doesn’t look to be letting up with the stress, though we’ll see how that goes as the year goes on. One thing that really didn’t help with the stress was getting all butterfingered on Christmas day. Of course that incident is part of the reason that I decided to not continue with a second year of Project365. Still I don’t want to give up photography entirely, so this year it’ll be Project52[ref]One new photo posted every week.[/ref].
