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!

    September 27, 2012. Day 265.

 My friend works at an indoor golfing place in Anchorage, and I stopped in to say hi. I'm not much of a golfer, but she was kind enough to be my tripod for this shot!

 I actually took this late on the 29th. I think it got too late for me to be motivated on the 28th. But anyway, we have a coffee table with books on it, I just need to sew up some floor cushions!

 ONLY 100 more days!

Woke up to fresh snow this morning! It didn't stick, but it was beautiful!
I didn't know how to pose for this photo. Kinda wish I didn't look so bored - haha!
