This marks the end of my 3rd 365 project! Late last year, my dad and I was painted my room green (my favorite color) and I framed some of my favorite photographs. Thought this be a good time to show what I’ve done. All but two of these framed photos were created during all three years of my 365 project. I’m amazed at how this project can help you create images you otherwise would never have taken and those you’re especially proud of! :)
This 3rd year has been really fun but probably the most challenging! I’m not gonna lie, the toughest was part was keeping up with my followers. It’s not easy trying to keep up with over 100 people and I probably didn’t do a good job at it. But did the best I could and derived much inspiration and encouragement from you guys. So just wanted to send big hearty THANK YOU for your support, taking time to view my work, and for creating your own very inspiring images!! You’re all so awesome! :D
Was able to gain so much from this year’s project. Didn’t think I could hold a theme for an entire month, but I did it! For example, I accomplished the fun Technicolor April challenge where I created some of my favorite colorful images ever (

Whoa I wrote quite a bit! Sorry for all the reading. Anyhoo, I’m definitely going for another year. I’m hoping to try out some new techniques, take more photos throughout the city of LA, and my biggest goal is to start selling some of my work (gulp) this year!
It’s time to start all over again with Year 4! So I say with strong determination:
Only 365 photos to go! :) :) :) :)
I'm looking forward to your 4th year!
Thanks guys for the warm congratulations and the comments! Looking forward to enjoying another year with you all! :)
