An entire year has passed and I have arrived at the end of my photo-a-week project. I can say it’s been a lot of fun and it has been a real pain. Sometimes the photos came early… other times, late Saturday night. Yet, 52 photos have come to an end and it really has been a blessing. I’ve been able to see things in a way I’ve not seen in the past. Now, everything is a photo captured in my mind with or without a camera. It’s amazing the things you see when you look.

I think that’s why I love photography… Seeing things differently. Many people walk past the photos I take and never see what’s right there in front of them. Sometimes it’s grand… sometimes it’s humble, but, it’s always there. Funny, sometimes people can look at the same thing I’m looking at and not see what I see. I guess many of my pictures are a glimpse into my mind.

So what’s next? After seeing my friend Jason Hill’s picture of the day for December, I thought, “I can do a picture-a-day for a year.” My wife was nice enough to remind me of my schedule and how I don’t deal with failure very well. Sooooo, I suppose I’ll take another shot at the 52 picture project again… And one other photo project.

“photo 52 people”

I’m not sure how this will work yet… a project that will grow on it’s own I’m sure. I can see the 52 people project using the talents of several other photographers I know… Jason, Nir, Allan, Dustin, Cody and a few others. We will see. They may not want to participate… But I’m sure it would be fun.

Anyhow, I’m looking forward to another year of life… God willing, it will be great.

peace.
