The Sun Sets on Another Year by bradsworld

The Sun Sets on Another Year

I have loved my 365 project, though it has frustrated me at times, and I have frustrated those I love at times by being a little too photo-obsessed. Thanks to my family for enduring.

Here is the photostream that originally inspired my project: http://www.flickr.com/photos/laserbread/sets/72157612019716787 .

I recently upgraded to an Ace membership, so I'll still be around, posting photos and commenting when I can, just allowing a little more space for the ebb and flow of life.

Thanks @Scrivna for starting this website. I love this community and I love daily seeing photos from all over the world.

Thanks for taking this journey with me. Blessings on you all.
MANY CONGRATULATIONS!! You did it :-) Nice one! Fab pic here, gorgeous place. Enjoy some time out!

this is, of course, exquisite. oddly enough, i DREAMT about what your last photo would be! And it wasn't this - haha. It was a car driving down a highway at sunset. How funny is that? I rarely remember my dreams. And there was your photo! Congratulations. I have so enjoyed your quirky and fabulous photos and comments. See you around. peace to you and yours.
January 27th, 2011  
Oh congrats on compleating your 1st year! Glad to hear you will still be around :D What a fantastic image to end your calendar with!!
January 27th, 2011  
It was a fantastic year for you Brad. Congrats and thanks for moments of appreciation and inspiration. Your comments have always been appreciated. I look forward to seeing your more relaxed output. :) Beautiful capture by the way!
January 27th, 2011  
Well done to you!!! :)
And what a great shot to mark the occasion..great colour! :)
January 27th, 2011  
Congrats its been a pleasure looking at the pictures you have taken, glad you will be around still
January 27th, 2011  
Oh WOW - CONGRATS ! Yee hah
January 27th, 2011  
beautiful!
January 27th, 2011  
@stepheesue - That's funny. I started my project with a sunset picture while sitting in the rain on the freeway, and I thought of ending it with a traffic shot on the freeway...but then decided to do what I usually do and track down the subject du jour. I just happened to be working in Huntington Beach again, so it was an easy run across the street to catch the sunset. :)
January 27th, 2011  
congratulations Brad, and thanks for some great work and of course your wit and humour when you comment, and glad to hear your sticking around
January 27th, 2011  
Wowzers!!! Many congratulations to you!! Great photos, can't wait to see what the next year brings! :)
January 27th, 2011  
Congratulations Brad. Being a new 365er, I was wondering if you had any tips on getting through the year, other than the obvious one of taking your camera everywhere. What have you learned about yourself and your work over the last 365 days?
January 27th, 2011  
Wonderful shot! Congrats on completing your 365!!!
January 27th, 2011  
Congrats! Your photos are always inspiring.

Congrats Brad. I have enjoyed your photos and comments throughout the year and I am glad to hear you'll be lurking out there somewhere in 365 land. I think I may be doing the same as I complete my 365 project in about a month. Enjoy the freedom and satisfaction of a job well done.

January 28th, 2011  
Congratulations Brad. I've always looked forward to your captures and think of you every time I whine about all my gear I pack around. Just tonight I was packing for a trip to Tahoe and am having anxiety at the thought of just having my little P&S (It was either my camera bag or my ski gear). My project is over in about a month and I'll continue to lurk here, so glad to hear you'll be around as well. Time to celebrate Brad! You made it!
January 28th, 2011  
Just beautiful - and congratulations!
January 28th, 2011  
Wow, you made it!! Congrats! You were one of my first followers and it's been a joy (and a giggle) to see your photos this past year, Brad. Have fun with this next year (:
I think you've redefined what constitutes the "best" camera to have, by the way, your iPhone photos have been fabulous.
January 28th, 2011  
Congrats, Brad!!!! :-))) I've enjoyed your project a lot, your witty titles and clever captures! Glad you'll keep posting and commenting from time to time =) As always, mnogo dobro!!! =)
January 28th, 2011  
a Fave! Congrats Brad, your phots are spectacular
January 28th, 2011  
Way to go on making it to your 365th photo!!! I'm so happy for you, and look forward to making it to 365 myself. :-) Fav.
January 28th, 2011  
Amazing amazing amazing picture to end on!!! This is stunning. Congrats from me too for finishing your 365!!! do you think you'll do another year? eventually?
January 28th, 2011  
@lauren211 - I probably won't do another year of a photo a day, but I'm using the additional albums from my ace membership to continue posting shots both new and old. I have a lot of shots I love and wanted to post before, but at the end of the day I could only choose one for my 365. :)
January 28th, 2011  
@bradsworld - I have the same isssue. in fact, sometimes I get so busy I have to post an old photo. I'm going to keep on trucking along with another year... but I'm not going to make 365 first priority this next time around lol well.... maybe by accident ;)
January 28th, 2011  
What a cool shot!
January 28th, 2011  
I so appreciate all the comments you've left as so many have brought smiles! You're so talented, and I hope to see more of your images in the future. This one in particular is (of course) amazing.
January 29th, 2011  
Wow, what a gorgeous view!! I'd sure love to see that in person!

Congratulations on your 365th photo! I plan on getting an ace membership at some point too. Although I still have a ways to go and I have some blank spots, I love this project!
January 29th, 2011  
Totally beautiful shot to crown you achievement - CONGRATULATIONS. I am photo obsessed to the point of lunacy - but more other people's than my own, which no doubt shows :-D. However, hope you manage to get a balance with family and 365 ...do you work too?!
January 29th, 2011  
What a great year you have had...your photos are incredible and a true inspiration. I love that you shot it all on an iphone and I think this is the perfect 365 day shot, with the pier that you do so well in that perfect sunset :-) Hope to continue to see your work!
January 29th, 2011  
Congratulations!
January 30th, 2011  
this is simply stunning - love it - a fav for me!
January 31st, 2011

It is with sadness that I write this message. Due to one or more misinformed, spiteful, immature individual(s), I will no longer be posting (and will be deleting) photos on my account. Profiles are being created on this site and the person(s) responsible continue(s) to post unkind, thoughtless, ridiculous comments directed toward me on a personal level. I will never understand the mindset of people who choose to behave this way, especially those who will believe/create/say things about a person they do not even know. I apologize for posting this on your photo comments, but I could think of no other way to get a message to my ‘followers’. Posting a new photo for the day with this information would not work, since one of the fake profiles is actually still ‘following’ me. I just wanted to say I am thankful for all I have learned on this site from so many. Thank you for your comments, suggestions and support. I am glad for the opportunity to have gotten to ‘know you’ through your photos and words. What a great bunch of people in this community! This experience has been an honor and a pleasure. ~God bless you, Kris
