I suppose I couldn't have ended (pun intended) my project without including one of my 'signature' self portraits. I don't know. I guess we all have signature styles...?
Anyway...had a nice day off of work today. Worked out, cleaned, vacuumed, swiffered the hell outta the floors, and was going to bake some cookies but I lost the motivation.
I've been watching the Walking Dead marathon on AMC all day. Have seen 'em all already but can't wait until it starts up again in February. I love me some Daryl. If I were caught in a zombie apocalypse I would wanna be with Rick, Daryl, and Michonne. And from real life -- definitely my husband because he's pretty bad ass too...aaaaand...maybe Bear Grylls. That dude can get through anything, I think. Though he might make you drink your own pee.
Yep...this is what I think about when I avoid the more serious shit in my head.
Today, I also discovered something worse than burpees.
One-legged burpees.
They suck in three fundamental ways:
1. So hard.
2. So bad.
3. And so much.
I'm dyingggggggg.
In other news...I'll conclude my project tomorrow or maybe January 1st. Not sure what I'm going to post...
Thank you all for your time and lovely comments and most of all...your lovely pictures! I've treasured them all!!
Your posts have been so evocative, provocative, thought-provoking and just plain stimulating (in so many wonderful ways).
I have enjoyed all your pictures but your commentary has made following you an experience. One I shall not soon forget, and one which I will always cherish.
Stay strong in your work, T. As unfathomable as it is to me as to how you do it, you do it nonetheless. I will always admire that skill, that strength. They need you, and the world is a better place because you're there for them.
Fare well. And I hope that you and your indescribably lucky bastard husband live happily ever after.
Tim
PS: I know you don't do requests but I will take this opportunity to reiterate (in vain, no doubt) my request to see your eyes. Please.
@timerskine thanks, Tim. I've been a bad commenter on others' pics lately but I look at them all. I do appreciate your kind words and I'll send my 'lucky bastard husband' your well wishes too :P
Thank you for the encouragement these last two years. I've also enjoyed following your project and the conversation. I'll be lurking for sure and it's possible I may post a few more. Hell maybe I'll do a challenge or theme. Lol maybe not. As for my eyes? Maybe. Maybe not. I'll guess you'll have to stay tuned 😛
Ms. T, you have a way about you that is indescribable. And yet calls so many things to mind. Your mind is very adept at imagining and putting your unique vision into your photography. There is no one this site like you that I know of. For that reason this site will be the poorer for your absence. I will miss you. Take care always.
Your images are always inspirational, your stories thought provoking. You have written so much about your feelings and thoughts that I feel I'd like to know you in real life. I recon we could talk for hours. Your allure is in these 'selfies' and I will miss them.
@thirdjoe Hey, Joe! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you too! Hope you're well. Your comment is one of the nicest I've gotten! Made me smile! I have never been one to receive a lot of comments or views or faves here but I know the ones I do get are not empty gestures. I've loved your pics and seeing your corner of the world through your eyes. Thank you for sharing. Will miss you too. I'll be on Flickr though. :) And I'm sure I'll pop in here too.
@zosimasy@timerskine I seem to recall a convo about an even exchange when it comes to my eyes ;) How's that coming along? Anyway, thanks, Charles. Maybe I'll surpr-eyes you. Get it? Surprise. Maybe not. Probably not. :P A thing about me I'll let you in on? When it comes to some things and people ask me for something, some times my gut reaction is to want to do the exact opposite or not comply at all. Lol. Jokes aside, thanks, Charles for your visits and comments. I too have enjoyed following your project.
@tonydebont Thanks, Tony. Glad you enjoy my stories. They are pieces of me...at least the parts I'm not afraid to share. It's nice to hear when someone who only 'knows' you through pixels and words on a screen that they'd like to know me in real life too. It's comforting to know that the little parts I've put out there are something that is likable. Thanks! And you know I've always loved your sunset/sunrise shots!
What can I say, that has not been so eloquently said by the others? I love the insight into your soul, from the view out your camera to the thoughts in your head, that combined to give us the "picture" of you. Thanks for the fun and friendship!

maybe even a nice macro close-up so the only thing we see is your eye. Just a thought.
@timerskine LOL, well put.
