365 in 2011
Another year (my fourth - third on blogger!) of daily photographs - some better than others, but all a view of my daily life...if only a jaded glimpse! The images are only part of the ritual, though - the writing, when done well, makes them personal and complete. Reviewing the shots brings feelings of accomplishment, memories and smiles, but the greatest satisfaction is in creating them on a daily basis. There's something strangely magical about the intensity of the shoot and post-production/review/selection...and there's an equally rewarding gesture when mutually sharing and commenting on Flickr/Blogger (something really very elusive in the 'real' world!). A toast to all of my virtual friends in ending 2011 and beginning the New Year!

A great accomplishment - congrats!
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your family a very Happy New Year!
Marie, aside from your photography talent and subject choices, I really do enjoy reading the stories and life connections you make with the images. I wish I could write as well on a consistent basis. Here is to a great year ahead and a chance to enjoy more of your point of view ... both from your eye and your hand.
ReplyDeleteThanks to you both! This 365 project and connection is truly an amazing phenomenon and I certainly count each of you as special 'cogs' in that wheel! :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you a year of good health, happiness, insights and great places to feast your eye on and inspire your photographs.
