365 by parisouailleurs

365

This famous LOVE statue in Philadelphia seems the perfect subject to express my love for 365 and for you guys.
365th picture! I can't believe it! I spent a lot of time thinking about what I could do for the 365th. Beeing on vacations without my computer didn't help. (My pictures are a little mixed because I didn't change the date on the cameras between Europe and the US and I have a lot to catch up after a week without uploading and my 1600 pictures taken... but who cares?)

First, and like most of you, when I started I would never imagine to come up with such a nice community.
I heard of 365 from an American woman who lives in Paris and whom I met via Twitter. Unfortunatly she stopped the project. I would never imagine to feel so good in a web community. People here are so nice and honestly you're helping me a lot in the confident I have in my pictures. I built friendship, hope to be able to meet some of you, thank you every days for your wonderful support and comments.
I'm amazed how nice many of you have been when you dicovered I was in the States, asking to meet me, you can't imagine how happy it make me feel.
A daily picture is a real challenge, even for someone like me who lives in Paris, wich is full of opportunities. I do the project for myself but try to upload different subjects or views. With 365 I took more pictures that I would have, getting out of the bus because I saw "something" for here. I wanted to show you my Paris and you make me feel more curious about it.
I don't know if I'll have so much time in the future but i'm too addicted to stop. I created an 2nd album in January to upload my extra album, but in fact I hate to have a blank day so I'm looking for 2 pics a day. Then few weeks ago I created a Just for fun, with things that make me smile and laugh, and realize that I'm looking for those more and more during my "pictures hunt".
Once again, this picture is for you, to express my love to you my friends, my wonderful followers and a big LOVE to Ross too.
Gorgeous picture! Congratulations! :)

I was hoping you'd get to see the Love statue while in Philly. :) I only started following you a few months back but I have really enjoyed seeing your photographs of Paris and elsewhere. I don't always comment but I just wanted to let you know I really enjoy your photos and I hope to still see you around. :)

I am so sad I didn't get to see you!

Félicitations pour la finition de ce projet! J'aime à voir vos photos chaque jour. Paris est une ville avec de nombreuses photos, mais vous l'avez montré à nous à travers vos yeux! Une vision très particulière de cette belle ville. Merci de partager avec nous.

I have also enjoyed the chance to practice my French with such a kind person, who is always willing to speak "Franglais" when I forget the right French words. I hope that we get to meet next time I am in Paris!!

Je suis heureux que vous continuerez sur ce projet et j'ai hâte de voir plus de photos!
May 25th, 2011

You have been such an asset to 365, so generously sharing your wonderful city. I somehow have missed out on your postings for awhile but it is so nice to be able to stroll back and forward through your wonderful photos of NYC and Philly as well as Paris. I hope you will continue to post your images of the world.
