WOO HOOOOO!!! by aikiuser

WOO HOOOOO!!!

But darnitall, due to technical difficulties, I was unable to load what I had in store for my "final" 365 post. Guess I need to stick around at least another day--So stay tuned tomorrow as I hope to have my software issues resolved by then... ;-)

Edit: Here's what this day was supposed to be...
http://365project.org/aikiuser/365/2011-09-23

Soooo... Living up to my own goal of shooting each day and posting an image from that same day turned out to be much harder than I would have thought! But with a few recent exceptions during vacation, at least I can be fairly satisfied with my efforts to do so. Along the way I posted a few nice ones, a few not so nice ones, lots of "I don't know what I'm doings" and gobs and gobs of "what the hell am I gonna shoot at 11:00 pm again?'s"! (It does make one look at all the silly nick-knacks in one's home a bit closer!)

Most importantly, though, I'd like to send out my very sincere and ginormous THANKS!! to all you fantabulous peeps out there who have ever taken the time to visit my images and all the incredibly gifted, funny, powerful, creative folks who's photos and commentary I have so very much enjoyed and been in awe of, (there are far too many of you to even begin to mention) you have made my 365 experience one I have cherished. I don't know that my photography has much improved over the year, and it certainly was agonizing at times submitting less than stellar work, but the virtual friendships (and even a few new "live" ones!) have made the efforts incredibly special. I'd have done anything to have more hours in the day to devote to better connecting with each of you, to be able to comment on every single image I enjoyed, and to reciprocate even a little bit of what I've received from you all. I mean it when I say, "You 365ers totally ROCK ! ! !"

And of course, huge thanks as well to Ross, who has done a magnificent job maintaining this amazing site--truly a colossal effort and one I very much appreciate. You da man!

Oh, and yes, if anyone cares I will be continuing to post. But NO I will not be holding true to my one-a-day, same-day rule! After taking more time in the next few days and the weekend to do some more much needed catching up with you all, I will most likely spend more time revisiting some of the thousands of images I've got sitting idly on my PC just waiting for some attention.

Warm hugs to you all--and again, THANKS for all your incredible support. I do love this place!

Peace, Jenn (aka AikiUser)

September 23rd, 2011  
Congratulations - it's been a pleasure to follow you. Believe it or not - I'm sure you'll be back, sooner, rather than later :) I found after completing my first year (on my own) - the next 9 days without pic-of-the-day - something was missing and that is when I found 365 and haven't looked back. I really am hooked on the concept and now I have you guys to connect with too - it's even better. Whatever you decide - here's wishing you all the very bestest best - keep shooting ;)
September 23rd, 2011

Oh, I am so happy to see your final photo here, I just finish the video, and it was a trip, I saw many photos that helped me shape my project, that inspired me so much, you knew that already. You were one of my biggest inspirations to do HDR. I don't think I am ever going to be satisfied with my photos like I was "wow" with yours. You have lots of classic stuff in your project.
Overall you have a beautiful and diversified project.
Thank you so much for all inspiration and congratulations, xoxoxo!
