It was fun to look back...mostly personally. To see my baby at the begining and now, and how much he's grown. To see how our year looked, now that it's over. I'm grateful to have documentation of it, more than "photo shoots" where I want things to look good - just taking pictures of cupcakes, forts, pants falling down...every day moments. When it comes to photography, I think I deteriorated - ha! The downloading, editing and posting gave way to the iphone shots - so much easier, although not as high quality.
Looking forward...will I do this again next year? Hmmm....possibly a variation of it. If I were to do a photo a day, I would need to make the posting part easier - iphone, I'm afraid. Maybe posterous, or instagr.am, or the project 365 app? Or, going a totally different route - I like the project life scrapbook...maybe that would force me to print more photos off and do something with them.
Regardless, I struggled with how to end the project, and finally decided on this idea from Shutter Sisters - your best shot 2010. It's hard to do, mostly because the photos are so personal. I like the monthly (mostly) family self-portraits, and love the photos of my kids...how can I choose? I think I'll do my favorites instead...
How about a reader's choice favorite? Which one do YOU like best?
This will be the last post to this blog. I feel the need to simplify. You can visit me at my photo blog...maybe if I'm posting to fewer blogs I'll post more often on the one(s) I do have.
Happy New Year, and thanks for reading!

Upper right corner of the Colo trip collage. Dad and O fishing. The demure Wolverine. It was a good year. What creative challenges do you have in store for next year?
What a great collection of images -- it really shows your family which is what the whole project is about to me!
