I've always enjoyed your daily look at life. I haven't done a 365 in a couple of years, but I decided to give it another try this year. Doubts have climbed in and I've already been wondering how I'll accomplish this goal. So far, I haven't been to inspired! Almost quit once and I'm only a few days into the year! But, after reading this I know I want to continue. Your words "learning to see things in a new way" that's what will inspire me each day. I think I'll print them out and put it by my camera! Thank you for this very timely post!Cathy H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10779935742253650385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-23048172357374102832016-01-12T07:16:46.399-08:002016-01-12T07:16:46.399-08:00Well, I guess I'll just join the chorus here! ...Well, I guess I'll just join the chorus here! It has been my privilege to travel along with you, watching your 365's emerge and watching you grow as a photographer and a person. It has been a joy! Daily practice really does help us improve. I'm on the bandwagon this year as well, doing a photo - or more - everyday. By choice, I prefer my DSLR but sometimes it comes down to the iPhone. The important thing is to 'see' all the beauty around us and in our lives, humble though they may be.Dottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-43056078621733878452016-01-12T06:45:28.172-08:002016-01-12T06:45:28.172-08:00I completely agree with both you and Carol. Daily ...I completely agree with both you and Carol. Daily photography is a real commitment but oh, so worth it! After doing a couple of years of 365s, I didn't do one last year and I missed it so much. As a result, my photography kind of stagnated and I wasn't growing as a photographer. I also stopped seeing all the little details of my life. Looking for what you want to shoot that day keeps your eyes open and noticing. So I've started my 366 for this year and will be doing it right along with you. Thanks for the tips!terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-61465810608306884202016-01-12T05:20:08.414-08:002016-01-12T05:20:08.414-08:00this is so true! When I was doing my kitchen table...this is so true! When I was doing my kitchen table series I used to think 'who needs to see my keys on the table again!' -but I still like to look back at those photos because they really do show what my life was that year. As for you, we have all watched you grow through these photos! Your photography is stunning, calming, homey, peaceful. Your style is so unique, and I think these dailies have done that. I can also see that they have made you think. Do you think you would have really seen these differences in the light while you play with exposure if you hadn't taken a daily look ? Perhaps you would have, but I think taking so many photographs gives you a deeper look and understanding. Three years is a long time and quite an accomplishment. You should be proud of yourself!<br /> Your advice is well taken!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05433584313253805817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-34611507079450858932016-01-12T04:54:59.508-08:002016-01-12T04:54:59.508-08:00My first year doing a "366."

Okay, into the day, with camera in hand, to see all the beautiful moments. AFishGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513718005250273753noreply@blogger.com
