Sort of.

It might be the lamest excuse for one ever.  I used my iphone for more photos than I would like to admit.  And I messed up the dates and skipped at least 4 days, since it ended several days after the date I originally started on.  (Perhaps a bit of that could be blamed on the confusion of going abroad for a while.)  All of the pictures aren’t great.  Maybe only a few are good.

But I did it.

Project 365 is getting crossed off the life list and my camera is going back to being a special use item.  The pressure, not that there was any, is off.

For me it’s less about the pictures and more about all the wonderful things that happened while I was trying to document my life over a year. Sure, a lot of boring “oh no i forgot” pictures are in there. But there are also pictures from trips to Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. and New Zealand and more. There are pictures of friends getting married, blogging conferences, living in Vermont, vacationing with my mom and meeting the love of my life. It’s been an interesting and unpredictable year for me and this project reminds me of that fact.

So here are the 365 photos that managed to make it into the final slideshow of Project 365 greatness.

Just wanted to say, I have the best boyfriend, and some pretty flowers:

Stick Season in Ludlow, Vermont

The leaves are gone, but it’s still quite beautiful here.

My camera and I did a little wandering during my work break today and we ended up in the boxing room on the 3rd floor of the Downtown YMCA. It is one of my favorite rooms in the YMCA but not because I ever use it. I’ve actually only been in there a few times and never was it to workout. I just enjoy the rough feel of it, how it doesn’t have heat or air conditioning yet people still come to use it.  I love the idea that it is forgotten in the Y while everything else gets polished and updated. Like many other places in Memphis it is seemingly left behind as everything around it progresses.

Yes, Ms. Kincaid, my 12th grade AP English teacher was at the wedding. Woah. Flashbacks to…. interesting times.

And then there were pics with friends from high school:

This is one of my favorite’s from Ashley and Nathan’s engagement photo session I did last month. Check out the rest of the photos on my flickr page.
