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!

I know this is a little boring. But, if there's any kind of rock that brings out the climber in me, it's sandstone. I loove it.

I had so, so much fun this weekend with our little 365 group. You guys are a blast. I learned a lot, I laughed a lot, and I took a lot of pictures. Thank you so much to everyone who came together and made that possible! It takes a lot of effort to feed and organize a crazy group like us! I hope to see you all again soon! Don't be strangers. :)

For someone who says she wants to go to bed early, I sure do stay up late.
Last sleep in Nevada!
