Busy Bein' Born

YES! I have made it through this long year's journey. The journey and adventure of my 365 project! It's been tough, long, bumpy, and I've almost given up many times on it. It has been one of the hardest things to keep myself up with and a huuuge post it note in the back of my brain to never let myself forget it. It's kind of like that feeling you get when you have an essay that is due next week, and to get that perfect grade you need to research, develop, and keep writing drafts and drafts before the final is ready. That's what this 365 has felt like. And even though a lot of my photos kind of sucked hard core through the project, it was all reminders to me for my first year out on my own starting my adult life. The glasses I wore, what my hair looked like at the age of 21, what style of clothes I chose, the things I saw, loved, and surrounded myself with. 50 years down the road I'll be able to look back on this past year and instantly remind myself of this personal journey. One thing is for sure, I'm a lot more confident in the way I feel about myself now more than ever. And that was a goal to achieve by doing this project.

Even though these photographs don't mean much to many people, they mean the world to me and after all that is what any art form is supposed to achieve. Expression of one's self to the world. I don't feel the need to post all of my pictures here on my blog as they can be seen on my flickr except for the one above because it is my final image to my 365. I'm so RELIEVED to have this all said and done! If you are interested, the full photo set can be found here:

In other news, I'm heading to Louisville this weekend for a couple photoshoots for a family member and a friend of hers. It's going to be the first kids session I've done in a LONG time so I'm kind of nervous! And excited : )
