L I F E

I've been lost in a fog....
At times I don't know what I'm doing...
At times I feel sad...
At times I feel glad...
I had to stop my P365...
It was draining me...
Life was out of control...
I took a break...
But I'm back...


Now when I find a special moment and capture it... I will forever engrain in my heart, in my mind, and sometimes with my camera. I won't stress about trying to get a good photo... I will just embrace it when I do stumble upon it.

Photography IS my passion. And I got lost in that project 365 dealio - to the point where I wasn't having fun anymore with it all. SO I hung up my camera. I got lost. I got sad. But I am back...

Still foggy.... but back!

All Done!

Didn't I say my Project was only 157 days?!?! silly me..... I must have counted the days wrong!


With that said I am done with this project. I know... I didn't even make it half way, but I sure did learn a lot along the way:

1. I don't need my camera to appreciate the beauty all around me.

2. I still capture moments every day (just not always with my camera).

3. I like not having to worry about the next creative thing to capture.

4. I still don't 'get' my camera.

5. I still LOVE and am thrilled when I capture a beautiful moment.

6. Taking a 'good' picture every day is a very tough thing to do.

7. I am so thankful that I have met some new friends from this project.

8. Amy - you inspire me every day - thank you for being you!

9. Jay - you are growing by leaps and bounds and I am so excited to see where you will go with this next.

10. Thanx for those others that enjoyed my Project 157.


Sincerely,
Joanne.

Day 157


Somewhere in time's own space
There must be some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
Some paradise where horses go,
For by the love that guides my pen
I know great horses live again.

Day 154

My last day in California. What a whirlwind of a wonderful experience and vacation I had. My dear friend Kellie has family here, and she flew out to join me, and also spend time with her amazing family.
Thank you again Kimberly & Dave for opening up your beautiful home to me. Kimberly, thank you also for picking me up and driving me around, you are truly amazing! Also thank you to Kellie's dad John for driving me to the airport for my long flight home. I love where you and Eva live, and I just LOVE your mountain... which happens to be my picture for today, Day 154:

Day 153

Culver City, California. Taping is over and done with. I got to walk around the city a bit afterwards, and quite enjoyed the sites...

What a fun day I had... I got to joke with Howie, opened a few cases, and be on a fun game show! Not sure when it will air yet, but I am sure that I probably embarrassed myself with my random ways! LOL!!! ...Hollywood won't be calling me back anytime soon, I'm sure of it! ;)
