I think I will give the 365 a break. I will continue to take pictures nearly daily, probably, as I was doing before the 365. But, I just need a break from the daily posting, etc. As far as what to do with the project, I hope to create a photobook I can use as a coffee table book. My husband is excited about that (and about getting the computer back since I seem to be on it more with the 365). It has been a fun learning experience, but I'm tired. :)
@kaustin : I know what you mean! I mean, there are days it's still fun, but there are also many days I do not know what to post. Of course I will continue taking pics, as I always did, but maybe I will only post those I really like.
I like the idea of a coffee table book! A friend suggested the same to me a while ago, and now I wish I wouldn't have only the 550 x something px versions of my 365 uploads 'cause they're too small for printing. Of course I still have all the original photos, but as most of my 365 pics are post processed, this doesn't help...
I think i'm going go easy on myself once the year is done..that said, i've learnt more this year than i ever did, not just about photography but about myself,the people around me and just about everything i clicked. Need some rest now :)
@sheetalthakker : I know so well what you mean!
BTW, for some reason, I always missed your pictures here, even though we started at the same time. Looked at them now and I really like your work!
I have one more month to go too. I am not certain what I am going to do at the end of the year. If I continue, I know I will relax my rules for my project. I would like to spend time on learning how to process my photos. If I continue, I would probably show more processed photos. I have done mostly SOCC photos or ones with the contrast slightly nudged this year. I would like to compile my photos from this year in some way, but I have not decided about this either. Lots of things to think about in the next month!
Definitely will take a bit of a break and slacken my pace a bit, but I think I'll stick around and work on some technical things I've been meaning to, but just haven't had time with the frenetic pace of a shot a day!! I've already been matting and framing some of my fave shots for Xmas gifts:)
I'm almost counting down the days. This project has been the best thing I have done for my photography. It's made me reach out and try things I wouldn't have done. I've been so inspired, and in awe of the amazing work on here. I feel a bit burned out though and need a break. I will continue, but on a much more relaxed basis. Maybe post once or twice a week. I also email my daily photos to about 100 friends, and have had good feedback about me continuing. What an amazing site!!
I'm toying with the idea of doing 100 Strangers.
Basically getting permission to take 100 portraits of people you've never met before. You also get their name and a quick something about them and post it all.
I love the idea of it just not sure if I have the guts to do it...
@shadowdancer I hope to see you here again after your first year! :-) I've started in March so I'm not done yet, but I think I will continue on a more quiet basis. I need a break, I need to take less pics and I also need to have more time to look back at my pictures. I've learned a lot on this site so far, but sometimes it's just too intensive :-)
As for me, I'm not feeling very inspired atm, and I feel I'm running out of ideas, but I don't think I'll be gone for good when I'm done with my 365 days... I guess I'll still be posting every now and then, but maybe not every day.

I've always admired your macro work especially the bokeh you always seem to create.
As we get towards the end of our 365 I'm finding it really hard to keep my images fresh and different. I don't know what I'll do at the end of mine !
If you leave 365, I'm sure I won't be the only 365'er who will miss you lots and lots :(
Good luck with the last month :)
