Finished!

November 30th, 2011
Done with my 365 project and I'm finding that I have attachment issues.

I feel too guilty leaving my camera at home even though I've hated carrying it with me everywhere for the past year. So I have continued carrying it around the past couple days.

Has it been easy to quit for other people?

First off, CONGRATS on getting to the end! I haven't finished yet (I will be done by Feb) but I sometimes wonder whether to continue after that or not. I have been frustrated and elated during this project so far, and then I always say that I certainly won't do a 2nd year... But I also can't imagine NOT having my camera with me in case I see 'the shot'!! You could always keep your project open and post a pic when you feel like it. Or decide that you're going to post, say, 10 pics a month. It's something I've thought about a few times.

@eholle QUIT!? Even if you don't continue with your project, photography isn't a project - it's part of your life!! Keep your camera handy always! :)

Agreeing with Stacy here. The camera is sort of like an extension of me. It goes with me. I may not record everything, but I have it just in case.

Quit? No. Not for me at least.

I will be done at the end of December. I don't know whether or not I'll do a second year. If I do I know I won't be doing things exactly as I have this year. But, I do know I will always be carrying my camera around. I've really enjoyed "seeing" the world through my lens. I think I actually see more now than I ever did before. For a creative mind like mine, it's been a wonderful outlet. Definitely do not leave the camera home!

quit? obviously not. I "finished" my project last march and I'm still here. . .guess that tells you something. anyway, though, CONGRATULATIONS on a really great accomplishment!

Congrats on finishing! I agree with @sdpace and @webfoot. Even if you don't post, photography is a way of life, not a project. :-)

Congratulations, but always keep your camera on you!

I've ended up doing year 2 harder than the first one, I now carry my camera (and tripod in the winter months) everywhere. Thinking year 3 will be more laid back but as @sdpace @webfoot and @cfitzgerald it's not a project any more!...

@eholle Congrats: you made it! I'm at the beginning and some days is not very easy... I think after 365 I might try a 52 project. At the moment I really need to' learn lots of basic stuff about my camera, photography in general and PP; maybe after a year I might be interested in digging more some particular topics. I'm far from the end and I might change my mind, but that's my current idea

My last day tomorrow and I already knew I needed the fix despite finishing, a year is time enough to form a habit! I'll carry on as normal I think maybe I'll lose interest but I doubt it.

I completed my project yesterday, or Nov, 30th. And here I am! Having a tiny bit of withdrawals. It was the first day in many days that I didn't take a photo. Just because I knew I didn't have to. I decided to take a month off. I still plan on taking my camera every where, cause it's just what I've always done. Even if you love something, a break is nice. Good luck! Whatever your decision. For me, it's not easy to quit. :P
