Well... this is it... I finally finished my project!
What an incredible experience to have joined this marvellous project. I started it as a way to reduce my emotional stress in a foreign land where I so often felt like an outsider. After a while I´ve noticed that the world had transformed itself as I was searching for beauty in the most ordinary things.
So much had happened this last year, and you have been with me during this journey. You had been with me twice me in the hospital, have been patient while I couldn´t see well for almost 2 months and was not able to work on my project. An incredible support I received from all of you while I was using lousy fillers trying to catch up... I simply did not wanna give up.
You have been with me in vacation and travelling for about 4 times... in Austria & Croatia during our car trip, Mallorca, Brazil and now finally here in Costa Rica. You also have helped me packing to move abroad. You even have been deported with me to Colombia. I can only say a big THANK YOU for being by my side during this time. If it were not for you I probably would have given up in one of those waves of bad inspiration and lack of motivation.
I know it might sound cheese but this project has helped more than I could ever expected. It has changed my life! Through this project I was able to get over depression that so often afflicted my heart. That means that YES, I will stick around and have no plans to quit the 365Project.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and inspiring me with the most gorgeous pictures. Thank you also for sharing your life, your family and showing your beautiful home, city and country. Special thanks for Ross Scrivener for creating this special place for all of us.

This picture:
The idea was to photograph all that have used and bought for this project. Better to say most of it because the tripod, the bag and my books are not there. I´ve started only with the Ixus and the EOS. In the background me hanging out all happy… I finally finish my project. From now on I can lay back and relax… rs rs rs…

Second year:
From now on my second album will be the main one and my goal for 2012 is to not use any filler, no matter how lousy will be my picture. Also, I’m going back to uploading mainly just one a day, with a few exceptions that I upload in # 3.
SOOC, but I´ve flipped the pic ;)
My project from 2012 (no filler ever... at least this is the plan... rs rs rs) you find here:
