Day 365

Thanks for sharing this past year with me. Together we went to my first football game, went on my first cruise, went on my first photowalk (and hosted one as well), passed my first kidney stone (ouch - it still hurts to think about it), watched the kids play in the snow in Charleston, said goodbye to a friend, enjoyed more sunsets and sunrises than ever, and learned to take the time to look a little closer at the things we take for granted. As I look back at the past year, a couple of things stand out. Number one is that my family had to endure this and they are absolutely awesome for dealing with my little quest while I was also running my own business at the same time. Number two is that I am blessed to live in a wonderfully inspiring part of the world and I’m reminded of it every time I pull a camera up to my eye.

Taking a good photograph involves many things, but taking a year of them involves discovering how to push your limits and then push them even further again and again! I started this project with a picture of an eggplant that my wife grew in her garden. It was a small symbol of creation and growth. At the beginning I shot without a direction, without focus, and without a plan - just a goal to take a photo every day for a year. Somewhere along the way I started to make plans, chart out a direction, and I focused on getting better and challenging myself each day. It was no longer just a goal to make it to the end, because the end turned out to be just another beginning. I have realized that I’ve come a long way with this craft, but I still have a long way to go, and that to me is the most exciting lesson I’ve taken from this journey.
