365 Days Completed
Today I am straught with bitter-sweet emotion as today I took the final photo (seen above) in a series of personal portraits that I began snapping one year ago today. Every day for the past 365 days I’ve sat in front of my computer pulling faces, displaying props and trying to keep somewhat of a consistant white background as a part of the 365 day project on Flickr.
I can’t say that I’m overwhelmingly sad to come to the end, trying to do something different every day for a year is a challenge I’m exhausted of, but it does give you the opportunity to reflect over the past year. These photos cover my life in four different countries, through times of happiness, sorrow, excitement and boredom, hell it sounds like I’m in the middle of a wedding!
What I can confidently say is that I’m proud of myself for sticking with it and seeing it through to the end. It’s a feather in my cap and one that many of my friends who began the journey with me will be without.
To those who are thinking of enrolling in the task my best wishes go out to you but be aware of what you’re taking on because this is no easy road to walk down. Do your best and try not to let boredom get the better of you turning the daily task into a chore.
Lastly to others that have continued on beyond 365 days frankly I think you’re nuts! But I applaud you for having the strength to continue on!

On man, well done on finishing. Now how will I get my daily does of Raj? Surely you’ll love to do the 365 second year challenge :P
Kudos for the completion of something I never could complete.
And what a lovely shot to end on. Little Sweep how cute.

@Nik I had planned on it at some stage. I need to download them all and fix up the colour balance on them, otherwise I wont be happy with it :)

@Tyroga Thanks :) I had to sneak Sweep in, Sooty’s already had his fame way back in the pre 100 days I think.

@Jo Other than when I had the skull fractures not really, don’t think I’ve changed that much aesthetically in a year.
