365 Project - The Other Side of the Lens.

Nervously, and with a lot of prayer, I began this project January 7, 2012. I joined up with a group of strangers on http://www.mavenforums.com and for an entire year, we watched people come and go, got to know each others families, and marveled at each other's photos. It was an incredible experience and did so much for me that I wasn't expecting. It ended up being an expression of self like I'd never done before. 367 photos later, my perspective on self portraits, the internet, and photography was changed. I had made new friends all over the world, and even met with some of them in person. Every photo has a story, and a memory, and when I look through them I feel a deep satisfaction. Many thanks to Michael for putting for the effort to get us all shooting self portraits, and many thanks to all my friends who motivated me for an entire year! It's made a world of difference. With your positivity and motivation, you've inspired me and built confidence in me, and I know that as a photographer I'll never be the same. Below, the photos are the visible fruits of our labors and prayers, but the real benefit only I really know. Thank you, and enjoy!

 Does this even need a caption?
 Many thanks to Sandra for being our tripod! Or she'd be in it!

 This jug of milk is from the Havemiester Dairy. It's marked as 'test run.' Cool thing is, we know the farmer, we've petted the cows, and we've watched it go from an idea to a jug with a logo. It's pretty neat to see the big fancy homogenizer and gallon-jug-thingy produce results. Hopefully they'll be up, running, and selling local milk soon!
