day ___ [after math]
I thought I'd let all of you know that I'm still taking photos and that photography is still a big part of my life, just I've taken somewhat of a break.
I haven't been taking photos everyday, like I did this last year, but when I get the chance I'll snap a photo. That said, my camera has yet to leave my side.
What else!? Oh yeah, I'm starting to do film work again, but that's been going really slow and I have to be patient when it comes to finishing off a roll of film.
To keep up to date with my photos check out my flickr and my new photoblog on tumblr.
Thank you so much for allowing me to open up a part of my life to you this last year. You guys who have come in throughout the year and those of you coming in now have made a difference in how I take a photo. Thank you!

day 365. [finale]
----------
I did not expect that a year ago I'd be doing something so bold in terms of being a photographer. The idea of taking photos every single day never crossed my mind until a friend, Sam Riofta, brought up the idea to me. I also never expected my photos to become what they have. I was always told I was a good photographer and to be honest with you, I was more than content with that. After this year though I've come to see that my composition for photos, my eye for what is not always seen, and my creative side have definitely jumped leaps and bounds since I started. Knowing that has led to be one of the best feelings I've ever had in being a photographer.
Doing Project 365 wasn't always easy. In fact, it was never easy. I give a lot of props to the people who have done this. I give props to my very own friends (Pam Dupa and Steven Welch) who are doing a Project 365 of their own. It's tough, and the way I did mine made it even tougher. You see, I let you guys see into my life through a very, and I mean very, small window. It's crazy to think that you got to experience my joys. You got to experience my sorrow. You got to experience the days when I absolutely felt nothing. You got to experience the life of a growing young adult. Essentially, you saw me grow as a photographer, as a Christian, and as a student. I wouldn't have changed my Project 365 at all because I'm glad you saw what little you did see.
Once again, thank you for being part of an awesome journey this last year. Yeah, journey. That's what it became. It went from a small photography project to a photography journey. I definitely plan on doing another one (keep your eyes out for that one!), but not any time soon. I'll most likely still be taking photos and have my camera around my neck, but just know that it probably won't be every day. I mean as a college student on summer break, I need some kind of rest, right? ;)
Getting away from the sentimental side of things, have you been wanting a physical copy of any of the photos? Well, it's your lucky day! Just go to this link and look through which ones you want. I'll most likely be selling them in the sizes of 4 by 6, 8 by 12, 20 by 30, and any size you request. Send me an email letting me know that you're interested (rickandrewb@gmail.com) and I'll let you know how much each cost.
Disclaimer: I will say no to some of the purchases just because I might not feel comfortable selling that photo.

With that, here is the final photo! I probably put minimal thought into the photo (secret out of the bag), but it definitely captured what I wanted it to. You know? One photo that was able to catch a years worth of memories. I hope you enjoy the photo and its simplicity as much as I do.

One last thing! Don't think you're getting away without knowing what my favorite photos from each "month" were! I say month in quotes because I did not start my Project 365 on the beginning of any month, rather I started it right at the end of one of the months (May 29, 2010). With that, I divided the photos up by however many months I was into the project. Let's get to those favorite photos!!

I DID IT. A WHOLE YEAR OF PHOTOS. I DID IT! :)
I challenged myself for a year taking photos of my life. You don't have to document your life necessarily, but I definitely am putting the challenge of Project 365 on YOU. Get out there and do it! I did it! So can you! Can't take a picture? Do some videos! Vlog? Blog?
Do your devotions for a whole year!
Do your devotions for a whole year!
Now for the final words, which will come from one of my favorite photographers - Patrick Demarchelier.
"Take pictures all the time. Don't worry if you take a bad photograph; you learn more by taking a bad picture than a good one. If you don't like it, study it and figure out why you don't like it. You'll learn from your mistake." - Patrick Demarchelier
day 364. [videos]
Steven and I went to Kindergarten today. My second time, his first. Afterward, we went to our church to help out with the Rummage Sale. Awww yeah! Helping send a kid to camp this year. Then, we got back to my house where I looked at some of his photos, he's definitely getting a lot better! Proud of that kid. Along with that though, you'll see that we filmed some videos.
Keep an eye out for tomorrow's post to view this video ;)
You guys are awesome :D

day 363. [band]
I went to the Spring Band Concert. It's the last real concert before Band Festival, which I should mention is SO MUCH FUN!!
It was so good to hear a good band play in a GREAT auditorium. I'm so proud of all of those guys. YOU GUYS PLAYED SO GREAT!!

day 362. [devotions]
Before meeting up with Keriann, the third senior that I'll be doing photos of, I went to Starbucks an hour early and just did my devos for the day. I'm reading through Jeremiah for the first time in awhile. This verse definitely stuck out to me today:
"They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you." - Jeremiah 1:19
day 361. [whidbey coffee]
I met up with one of the Seniors that I’m going to be doing senior photos for. Brittany has this rawness to her that I’m going to be excited to shoot this summer. We met at Whidbey Coffee, which marks the second time that I’ve been there this summer. I’m excited though to get to work with the seniors that I’ll be working with!
