It is now complete. My 365 project has ended. A year ago I made a commitment to generate one image a day for the next year.
I took a lot of abuse because of this project. My kids thought some of my pictures were uninspired or just generic. No argument from me. It is difficult just remembering to take a picture each day. What do you do when it is 11 PM and you have yet to take a picture. Once I drove to the parking garage on campus and took a picture of part of the campus. My collection of pictures is a pretty good account of my life. Most of which is probably not that interesting. The final picture is a good example. We are spending time with relatives in Northern Minnesota and Scott is a great breakfast cook.
I decided this should be the picture of the year. Cindy had an angiogram and asked for data. Good heart.
So, now is the time for you to think about next year. I probably took more pictures with my phone than with the 7D. Remember, the best camera is the one you have with you. You might want to consider how you will organize and share your collection (e.g., Wes Fryer will use Tumblr for 2011). Several photographers have made the commitment to take a picture of a door each day. For me, this was as much an exercise in commitment as anything. Next year, I plan to focus on quality.
