Burn Out
Final photo, although I didn't end up doing 365 after all. Took 24,000 since buying my new camera in February, but only posted 315. Found that the project got boring near the end, and that I was not doing anything that interested me anymore.
That said, I am extremely happy I did this, but disappointed that I couldn't fill in all the blanks for the full year. I just got too busy with Humber classes and it distracted me from my photography, which is why I work there! But now I am planning for the future and hoping to develop my portraiture more. Clients wanted!
Learned a lot from this exercise. I hope you can see the difference a year makes in photographic time. I have a repertoire of skills I didn't when I started and have ideas for the future. Very rewarding, and Anjhela has lots of portraits, as do I, that we didn't have before.
If you have any comments on the project, please drop a note in the comments below. To stay updated, please sign up for my newsletter at the top.
Thank you for visiting, and there is more to come... I will continue to update this, but not 365 days a year. Hopefully pretty close, though!

Red Clay Road
Seeing a future at Humber College, we considered moving there. This is the property I looked at. Anjhela's hopes were deflated when she saw the photos, and discovered that you don't get to own the land, just the house.
