Friday is for favorites...

First, pardon the grainy shitty photo. The front camera on my iPhone takes shittier pics than the back camera. Oh well. Wearing grey today for the grey weather.

Second, my coffee guy is back! Totally made my morning. No longer have to speak my order anymore lol.

Third...

Here's a fave pic of mine this week:

Check it out!

Also as the year comes to a close, I thought about what I was going to do for my last pics of the year. I don't want to be typical and do a video montage of my photos, although those are lovely. And I didn't want to wait until the end to say "goodbye"... So I guess I will take my time to say my thank yous and all that.

When I started this, it really was (and still remains) for the purpose of doing a photo diary. And it was also a way to keep in touch with @islandk8 and @snaphappy1, who are both little sisters to me. (One biological.)

I didn't expect anyone to really react or comment to anything I post or say. I still kinda don't. I haven't gone and drunk the kool-aid here by counting comments, views, favs, PP, or whatnot. However, I am touched by anyone's input and precious time they take to view and offer a word or two. It's really more than I could've expected. Time is a luxury we all don't have enough of. So I appreciate it.

And thank you for joining me on my journey. There are a few days and pictures that I count as my faves. But I won't bore you and share them here. I've "taken" you guys almost everywhere this year...to work, on staycations, on my jogs, inside my home...

I will not continue on a regular basis here after January 1st. I'll probably post now and then. Those of you who want to, can follow me on Flickr or Instagram. I'll follow you back. I don't do FB. You can find the info somewhere within these photos.

I've also had the pleasure of meeting some of you in person. It'd be really cool if I could meet more of you face to face. You all are people I would've probably never gotten a chance to interact with. And it's been great seeing the world through your eyes too!

So that's all for my rambling today. Only 25 photos left! Woo hoo!

Happy Friday!

really like your pictures ... and but just as important .. like your attitude and ability to say it as it is ... fun to read your narratives ... they always complement the images in a way ... and share a insight into you ... as a person .. haven't met ya .. but my mind paints a image as soon as I hear "Ms. T " (and I mean that in a good way ... :-))

[Ms. T]

@friend2303 thanks, Vijay! I enjoy your input. And it's been a pleasure viewing your photos too. I really appreciate your eye and sense of artistry. Thanks so much for all your comments!

[Tom]

Thank You Ms. T for taking us on a wonderful stimulating journey. Your stories and photos have been a daily delight! Thank you for sharing this every day adventure with us! The ups, the downs, the beauty, the blues, all presented in a wonderful fashion! Thanks

[Dawn Reilly]

another great selfie. That's the thing about this 365, interacting with people around the world, you would never otherwise get to "meet" I am so very happy to have actually spent a memorable afternoon and crazy cab ride with you. thanks for sharing your stories and photos. it's been fun!

[Ms. T]

@tosee as thanks, Tom! I have enjoyed your pictures as well as your comments as well. :)

@sunshinephoto5 it's so great being able to interact with people around the world. And it was really cool meeting you and other 365ers. I think we need to do a yearly NYC meetup. And that cab ride was awesome... Lol. Not really. I don't even think I paid...so whoever paid for the cab, I owe ya money! It's been really nice getting to see the world through your eyes. Really lovely pics. I've enjoyed your work a lot!

[Simon Wesley]

@fauxtography365 its going to be less enjoyable on here when you are gone Ms T. i love popping over to say hi and see your pics its always a pleasure to read your daily stories/rants :-) you will be missed and it feels weird saying that considering all we do is comment on pics.

much love, happiness and good luck Ms T x

[Ms. T]

@siport thanks for your sweet words, Simon. I have enjoyed our exchanges and your pictures as well. I'll be around though. It's interesting how you can feel a part of a community even if it's just through pixels on a screen. I look forward to the next 25 days though. I think I still have a few good pictures in me left lol. It's also funny because there are about a handful of pics of mine that I hate but...that's life. Both good and bad. Thank you for commenting. And love and happiness and much luck to you and yours this holiday season!

[Adam]

I've had plenty of ups and downs around here. Easily, I consider my exchanges with you as being as up as I can get without doing anything wrong ;) It will certainly seem strange not seeing you regularily. Sure glad I faved a bunch of your best shots! I wish you all the best. I would hope that we will be able to interact here and/or in other mediums in the future. Glad to still have you around for another 15 days :)

[Ms. T]

@adamj thanks, Adam! And thanks for the favs...although I haven't taken my best shots yet ;). Also I have 25 more days, not 15. Getting rid of me so quickly?

[Kate]

I'm glad we were able to make it to the end! I think I will take a break and start up again mid year…maybe on my birthday in July. I like that turtleneck…looks comfy!

[Ms. T]

@islandk8 I can't believe it's been a year already. I'll continue to do my picture taking just not use this as a main forum to post, for various reasons... But I will pop in to check on those I will miss. And my turtleneck is comfy but it's so thin, it really doesn't keep me warm lol.

[Kate]

@fauxtography365 Sometimes those thick ones feel confining and then you get too hot when you're inside. I hate winter. Lol

[Ms. T]

@islandk8 winter totally sucks balls.

[Adam]

@islandk8 What? Oh, sorry...I just read the comment before yours. It's all good now.

[Adam]

@fauxtography365 King Kong sized!!

[Kate]

@adamj Oh my….that does sound pretty crazy when not in context. LOL

[Ms. T]

@adamj those are huge balls.

@islandk8 lol!

[Tony]

It has been a pleasure and a privileged to have been taken on your journey. I didn't realise you were that close to completing and I'm saddened to learn that you won't be here next year.
Thanks for being there with all your comments.

[Ms. T]

@tonydebont Tony, it's been a pleasure viewing your work as well. Thanks for sharing your part of the world with us. As you might notice from my collection of favs, most of them are sunset, sunrise, sun shots. A handful of them are yours. I've enjoyed our exchanges and appreciated your contributions -- both in your pictures and comments to me. Although I won't be posting pics daily, I will be stopping by often to look in at what is going on around here. :)

[Tony]

@fauxtography365 Wow !! I had never thought to check out a person's 'favorites', I'm humbled to see many of my images in your collection. Perhaps we can actually meet when we call into New York late September 2014. My Email is in my profile 8-)

[Jason Daniels]

I opened up a bunch of pictures in a bunch of tabs and in its abbreviated form, this shot was entitled simply "Friday is for f" and nothing more and I thought "Hello, what photo has Ms T installed for us today? But as I left comments and pictures and closed tabs, more letters appeared and I soon discovered that Fridays are for favourites...

Thank you for the inspiration and I look forward to seeing how you close your first year.

[Danny G.]

Very, very sexy selfie. I only wish I had found you earlier in your project as I enjoy both your work and your attitude. I'll look for you on flickr.

[Ms. T]

@bobfoto I think one of the coolest things about 365 is the interaction with people all over. I've never thought much of or seen any of PNG until I encountered your photos. I've really enjoyed your work and your storytelling, Jason. Thanks for sharing them with us. And I'll keep watching your space for the next chapters!

@soboy5 why thank you, Danny! I've enjoyed your project as well. It is a shame that towards the end here, I've encountered people I wish I encountered earlier. But such is life. I'll still be lurking around and you know where you can look for my photos if you feel so inclined! :) Again, thanks for all your comments!

[Jason Daniels]

@fauxtography365 - it has been fun! And good to hear you will continue to lurk.

[Ian]

Gonna miss ya Ms. T

[Ms. T]

@streats it'll be weird not posting everyday. After doing something for 300+ days, it becomes a habit. But I'll be around lurking and perhaps post when the mood strikes. I have really enjoyed your work, Ian. You've got such a great eye for a good capture. I look forward to seeing more of it! :)
