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!

    January 25, 2012. Day 19.

At the end of the day, I went down to the park to try and snap a photo. Low on ideas and freezing in the negative temperatures, I set up a jumping shot. When I came back and showed my husband, he informed me that it was terribly morbid and that I looked like I hung myself. Needless to say, I was shocked. The bad news is I don't really have anything better to use, except a photo of me with my eyes half closed. So, it is what it is! I don't want to miss a day!  But don't worry - I didn't hang myself!

The sunset was completely beautiful. Complete with huge chunks of ocean ice, two sun dogs, silver-lined clouds, and misty mountains. I shot this while trying to get a panoramic of it.
