Thank you, 365!

July 28th, 2010
I have reached 50% completion on my first 365 project! When I first started this project, I thought it would be good to encourage me to do what I love everyday and to maybe improve my skills. Little did I know…

Since starting this project I can say without hesitation that my skills have definitely improved and I am still as in love, if not more so, with photography. What I did not expect was that this would become so much more than photography. Since joining 365 I have not simply joined a photo project but a family, too. I have met some of the most extraordinary people here. I have developed friendships that will endure whether I continue this project tomorrow or not. I am constantly inspired by the strength, humor and sheer ridiculous talent I see here each and everyday. I have been witness to and participated in some of the most extraordinary random acts of kindness. I have been allowed to be authentically me and have been accepted for exactly who I am. I am proud of my project, I am proud of the progress I have made as a photographer and I am proud to be part of such an amazing community.

It is impossible to mention everyone by name but I would like to thank you for being my friends. Thank you for all of the gifts you share each day and thank you for being a part of this amazing community. I have said it before and I will say it again, I am so incredibly lucky!

*hugs* ~ Autumn

Congratulations on hitting the halfway mark! I've enjoyed seeing your beautiful images every day and getting to see the world through your eyes. I remember you were one of the first people here to comment on one of my photos, and it meant a lot to me that you took the time to do so. This really is a wonderful community, and I'm glad that it's helped your photography and that you've been able to establish great friendships. I look forward to seeing what the second half of your project has in store!

Right back at you Autumn! Congratulations on reaching the half-way mark and realizing the best part of 365 and that, of course, is the people. Without all the friends willing to share their stories, it would just be a photo site, and it is so much more than that.

Congratulations on hitting 50%! I love 365 as well! It's fantastic, and I feel the same way you do! Especially right now in my life, a difficult time, everyone is here for me! It truly is like a second family to me! You all rock!

You've brought us some beautiful pictures along the way; they've been wonderful! (But I thought you began back last October ahead of everyone?) This certainly has been a perfect site for connecting with others and sharing what we love about photography; I know it's meant such a lot to you and you know how much I've loved it as well! Your note to the community was really sweet & I continue to look forward to seeing the sights you love through your photos!

Well said. I think there are a lot of other "365 patriots" here who really believe in and love this community. :)

Congratulations and yes, we have enjoyed your pictures and I think we all appreciate the community here too.

My sentiments, too Autumn. It's been great meeting you, and everyone else, here!

happy half way point! When I started this project I never in a million years thought I would care so much about seeing the growth in all my friends. I just assumed I'd upload a picture everyday and be done with it, but now I refer to some of my project friends by name around my house like I have known them for years, and have even become fb friends with a few. :)
