*sigh* I did it. I took 365 pictures over the last 365 days, each on its own individual day. My self-imposed rules didn't allow substitutes or fill-ins. I wanted my first project to be pure. There were moments — oh, were there moments — when I wondered what in the world I'd been thinking when I signed on, imagining the goal wouldn't be tough at all. After seeing so many wonderful, interesting, creative images contributed from all over the world, I suddenly felt as if I had nothing to take pictures of in my boring little stretch of the planet. And then Macro March came along! It (and you) got me through the doldrums of a midwestern winter. This project inspired me to dabble in B&W photography and discover an unexpected appreciation for it qualities. This project got me out of my comfort zone in so many ways. It created an unexpected passion for all things rusty, and a renewed love of the color brown. I also thoroughly enjoyed my time spent roaming about the back roads with my husband, in search of a photo opportunity. From this I developed an appreciation for my part of the world, brown as it may be so much of the time.
This project has inspired so much learning. I look back at pictures taken in the beginning and actually laugh (and then grimace) at the difference in what I know and understand about my camera and editing programs. I can honestly say I've come a long ways! Here's the first picture in my project: http://365project.org/lyndemc/365/2014-01-09 . Interestingly enough, today's picture was taken right over the very spot of that "First Steps" photo, intentionally, as to symbolize coming full circle in a year's time.
Thank you ever so much for your interest and interaction over the past year. You're a wonderful community of fellow photographers and I'm honored to have shared my pictures with you for 365 days.
Congratulations Denise! I find your photos, techniques, and creative imagination to be truly inspirational! (Your comments are also quite witty and much appreciated.) Savour the day,...and then please continue clicking tomorrow.
Congratulations! And a beautiful photo to cap off the year. (I think we all go through those doldrums, but it's great when themes or inspiration by others pulls us out and gets us going again.)
Congratulations Denise!
It is quite a feat to have been able to post a photo that was taken on the scheduled day. I have enjoyed following you for the entire year and as well as your photographs I really enjoyed reading your comments, we started pretty much at the same time and I'm really looking forward to your next 365 photos.
Congratulations Denise. You reached the goal and with your own tough rules. It has been a pleasure following you; I admire your taste and creativity. I also love your comments, so nice. This is a wonderful composition and capture to celebrate the occasion.
Congratulations Denise! I really enjoyed your photos and conversation with you. I look forward to seeing your masterpieces more and more. I also would like to say "thank you" for your kind words to my dogs!! Your words encouraged me a lot!
Congratulations Denise.A job well done for your first year. I was a purest my first few years - self imposed as well!! I clearly remember as few nights at 11:45 jumping out of bed because in the hectic day I had forgotten to take a photo - that is when I discovered that even the door knob in the front hall was beautiful. :) I photographed everything in this house that first year. But my second year I had a macro lens and a whole new world and perspective opened up to me. The rest is history.
I am looking forward to seeing what you find in 2015. :)
Congratulations for your accomplishment! I have just scrolled through your pictures and I love every one of them! I'm just on day 8 of my first year, and your work has truly inspired me. I'm so glad you'll be going on in 2015, and I can't wait to follow!
Congratulations Denise! This is truly the perfect way to cap your year off with. You're continued creativity and talent are an inspiration and I have throughly enjoyed the journey over the past year. So raise a glass to toast your success with sticking to your rules, do a little happy dance and a pat on back...you have very much earned it! Here's to the next 365!
Congratulations!!
I hope my 2nd try can be as complete as your first one was. I have enjoyed and anticipated seeing what you post next since I started.
Very impressive!!
I've been checking a lot to see how you finished your project. Your final photo is wonderful. I just looked at your first photo and I remember it. I just read all the above comments and I agree with so many of them. You are a great story teller that always go so nicely with your photos. As I've told you before, I absolutely loved your alphabet series. Also thanks for checking in on me when I gave up here. Thanks for your interest in Boston. Good luck for the next year. I'm sure there will be more amazing photos. I will be checking in but I cannot do another year. Today was actually the first day of the year that I picked up my camera. Big congratulations to you. You must be very proud of your project. Take care.
Congratulations Denise! Your project is truly inspiring. I've loved each and every one of your photos. Your images are always creative and very well photographed. I've enjoyed getting to know you this past year, my project will be finished tomorrow and I will continue to check in from time to time. Thanks for all of your wonderful comments and support these past months, it's been greatly appreciated. It's been great!
Big congratulations, Denise! This is beautifully composed and captured. You have a true gift for composing and shooting beautiful images. I have always admired you for taking time to give such thoughtful and detailed comments to everyone. You must dedicate a lot of time to this project. Fabulous job! Be proud!
Congratulations on a big accomplishment. To do a new shot, every day, is a real artistic commitment. I have been the grateful beneficiary of your visits and comments, so thank you. I am hoping that you will continue to check in from time to time, so we can enjoy your creative presence here.
Way to go girl! I hope you realize the inspiration you've been to me and so many others. I salute you with an appreciation for all you've accomplished over the 365 days. An original photo every day is no small task at all, and you pulled it off with a flair and creativity that the rest of can only hope to aspire to. I look forward to the next 365 days of contributions!
WooHoo!!!!!!! Congratulations Denise. You are a true artist. Almost every day, you had to go out and create your shots. It seems as if rarely was anything presented to you and all you had to do was press the shutter button. I don't know hw you managed to create so many wonderful compositions out of seemingly unphotogenic material. And for what it is worth, I think Macro March defined you and set you up for the rest of the year. I also liked the transition from Lyndemc to Denise. And just for the record, you were the third person I started following and the ninth person to follow me. I look forward to your next 365 days. Are you going to continue with the same self imposed rules?
I must have started following you about half way through your project Denise, and have always recognised your 'style'. So, it was lovely to look back on your first shot, and shots, and see the progress that you have made over a year. Your style has definitely developed as you've gone along and has gone from good to brilliant! I love all your detailed comments on other folks' images too. Well done you, and I look forward to seeing more from you too, I hope! xx
Well done Denise - a great image to finish with! I have enjoyed following you, you have such style and you take such time to make wonderful comments. I look forward to another year of your work.
Congratulations Denise you have really made the most of the project and I have enjoyed your photos enormously. I look forward to seeing a lot more in the future.
Congratulations Denise, that is such a beautiful image for your 365th photo. I don't know how you managed to take and post every day! You are always so thoughtful with your comments... thank you!
Well Denise, the girl done good! I'm delighted that you finished your project in some style and I've enjoyed sharing some of the journey with you. I look forward to continuing to follow your work in year two. Again, very well done.
@paulavdmerwe Thank you Paula. It feels good to hear that word.
@golder365mjsmith Thanks so much, Michael. That my photos inspire, well, that's a big ol' thick layer of icing on the cake for this project. I can't begin to tell you how much I've enjoyed your comments. They often inspire the first laugh in my day. And you bet there'll be more clicking to come. I'm so glad you've continued on with a second year as well.
@shesnapped Thank you Ashley. It feels amazing to have reached this point and this goal. I'm gun-ho to carry on having achieved my goal.
@ksmale Appreciate the congrats, Karen. You are so right about themes and challenges giving us a new inspiration and direction. They saved me a number of times when I was floundering for ideas. I'm hoping to get even more involved with them in this second year.
@rangerxenos Thanks so much, Dawn. It feels like a happy dance is in order! I appreciate the comments you've shared throughout the project.
@cruiser Thanks, Chris. Yes, looking back, it has been a good year. The nice thing I have picture to prove it!
@juliac Thank you so much Julie. I had to get a little rust in my final image, and quite a bit of brown too seeing as those were sort of trademarks of my project. :) I so appreciate all the interest you've shown in my project.
@radiogirl Thank you, Kathy, for the congrats and compliments. I've enjoyed making this journey alongside you, having started just shortly after you. Your comments have always been so faithful and a delight to read. Thanks for that. Here's to round two of the trip.
@anazad511 My thanks to you, Ana, for the note of congratulations and the generous compliment on my project. I've always appreciated your comments and observations about my pictures. Thanks again for sharing an interest in my photos.
@kporte Thank you! It feels amazing to have accomplished this crazy goal. It was very nice of you to drop by for a closer look and a congrats.
@emiko Aww, Emiko, you've been a dear friend through this journey, always here to share an enthusiastic comment on my pictures. Benny the Bear adores you too and loves it that you ask about him and when he'll be in another picture. TODAY is your 365th day... we've made this journey very much together. I look forward to the second trip around with you!
@cortens Thank you ever so much, Julie. I'm impressed by the fact you did two full years of daily photos. My rules are lightening up in this next one. I've so appreciated your interest and comments shared on my project.
@aecasey Your congrats and compliment are much appreciated, April. I thought including rust and browns in this last image would be appropriate considering how much they played a part in my project.
@ckwiseman Carolyn, what a generous complement you've shared! Thank you, very much! Welcome to 365, by the way. I can honestly say it's a wonderful place to make a photographic journey. Best wishes to you on your project. I look forward to congratulating you on your 365th photo.
@tracymeurs Thank you, Tracy, for the congrats and compliment, and a willingness to see what I can manage to come up in the second year. I'm promise to give it my best shot. :)
@teiko Thank you, Emilie. It feels so good to have achieved this goal. You are just days away from the very same yourself!! Thanks for sharing in this past adventure, and yes, here's to the next one.
@dgrynn Thank you, thank you, thank you! That happy dance you mentioned — done did that. The toast to success, should be doing that too. Perhaps once I get all my thank you notes done. (I make enough typos and spelling errors without being tipsy.) Thanks so much for your interest in my project, the comments and compliments shared — you're always so kind and encouraging. You have just two weeks to go to realize the awesomeness of this 'completed' feeling. Trust me, it's wonderful!
@darylo Advice taken — I'm definitely savoring! Thank you for your time taken to come by and share a note of congrats. Truly appreciated, Daryl.
@cynthiak Thank you, Cynthia. Have to admit, this feels wonderful, having achieved a goal. Appreciate your dropping by.
@mpratt Mark! Thanks a whole, great big bunch!! You are one of those that got me through the beginning of this project with your amazing comments about my macro project. You were so enthusiastic and generous with your compliments, I found myself working doubly-hard to make sure the "lyndemc" quality was maintained. Thanks so much for that inspiration. Best wishes on your goal of 365 pics this year. You can do it!
@triciakano Tricia, you are ever the sweetest. I've always adored your notes and so appreciated them. Thank you for the congrats on the conclusion of this project. It feels wonderful to have accomplished the goal. There were a number of times I'd decided I wouldn't continue on with a second year but I was afraid my camera wouldn't get picked up as faithfully and the learning would come to an end, so I'm in it for another round. The self-imposed rules will be a little different this time tho. I hope we'll be able to keep in touch. I'd miss knowing how things are with you! Again, thanks for the congrats.
@vegansusan Thank you, Susan. You and your comments are and have been very much appreciated throughout this project.
@hinkkd Thank you for your very generous note of congrats, Kathleen. Those are some generous words you shared. :) You are about to know the joy of a completed project yourself. I dare say you're going to like the feeling.
@lynnz A big thanks to you for your note of congrats and the lovely compliments shared. It's words like that keep me dedicated to being particular and make the work some pictures end up being all the more worth it. As for the time devoted to this project, let's just say I've not slept as much in the last year. The wee hours of the morning have become 365 computer time, but it's time well-spent, and honestly enjoyed. Again, thanks. With pride. :)
@dide Thanks, Dianne. I really appreciate your congrats, as well as all the comments you've shared on my project. You've made the journey all that much more enjoyable. And by the way, your "365" picture was one of them that inspired my final image here. Thanks for the inspiration!
@rosiekerr Rosie, how sweet of you to share such a generous note of congrats. Our paths have only just recently crossed and I'm looking forward to more of the interaction. I'll be here for another round in this journey!
@stray_shooter Aww, thanks Ron. You've been such a fan which means you've been a huge inspiration in my daily efforts. It's been a riot having you along for this ride we call '365'. So glad you're here to make 2015 equally exciting. And thanks for the generous compliments. Wow, I'm honored.
@terryliv Warning: "War & Peace", Part 2, coming up. "WooHoo" is RIGHT!! This feeling of completion ROCKS!! But you already know that. Congrats again to you for achieving your project goal under the tough rules. My second year is going to have the same rules you've adopted; pictures taken within seven days of posting. There were so many days I told myself I wasn't going to do a second year but the fear of getting lazy about picking up the camera and continuing to learn new things led me to decide to carry on. I can now travel a little and use more than just two or three pictures from the adventure. Thank you so much for the thoughtful note of congrats on this final pic. I agree that Macro March was a changing point for me. It definitely saved me. But it was everyone's interest and encouragement that made it the success that it was. And for the record, in my list of those I follow, you are the first. The two originals before you have dropped out, which puts you in the poll position! Thank you so much for your interest and interaction over this past year. I'm looking forward to the next 365 too.
@jamibann Thanks a whole bunch, Issi. You're so sweet to share such nice compliments on my project and its pictures. They're inspiring to keep up the efforts. So glad our paths crossed here on 365. I'm looking forward to more interactions as the year unfolds.
@dibzgreasley Many thanks, Deb, for the congrats on my reaching this special milestone. I'm quite chuffed (a word I've learned from my social interactions here) that you've enjoyed following me. I hope I can continue to keep that a truth. Here's to the next year of pictures!
@wearing0 Thank you, Debi. It feels wonderful and a great relief too. Towards the end I was worried that something dreadful would happen and I'd somehow miss a day. I told my husband that should I end up in a coma for some reason, to put my finger on a shutter button of some kind and push it down so I could still say I'd taken a picture each day. Ha! Thanks for all your comments along the way. You've been very encouraging.
@ounooi Thank you ever so much for dropping by with a note of congrats on this milestone reached. That was sweet of you.
@gilbertwood Many thanks, Denise, for joining in on the celebration of this special accomplishment. I value your use of the words 'marvelous job'. Compliments like that are so encouraging. Here's to the next 365!
@aliha Thanks, Alison. The hardest part was bending that stubborn wire into the needed numbers. I need to learn to weld so that on the next anniversary the pieces stay together.
@lwain Thank you, Lindy, for the congrats and compliment on the finished project. I'm pleased to admit it's a triumphant feeling. Like you, I'm looking forward to seeing what new photos lie in all our futures!
@ceilidh Thank you so much, Margaret. And thank you too for your many comments shared along the way. I always enjoy reading your observations about a picture. And now onto Y2!
@bella_ss Your congrats are truly appreciated, Sheralee. Your comments and compliments along the way have been most encouraging, let me tell you. Thanks for the time you've taken in visiting so often. As I was telling *lynn, I've gotten a lot less sleep this past year because I really wanted to be able to get in on the viewing and commenting, and saying thanks for the interest shown in my project. A long winter's nap may be in order now that I've reached the end of this particular journey. Nah, can't do that — I'd wake up way behind and that's a nightmare! Again, many thanks.
@vignouse Thank you ever so much, Richard. Your acknowledgement and compliment on my finished project is like a feather in my celebration cap. You've been quite the instructor through your pictures, comments and explanations to 365ers. If I knew half the technical info you do, I'd be rather proud of myself! Your knowledge of photography is impressive (and inspiring). Again, my thanks for your note of congrats.
@axika Congrats to you as well, Alexandra! This accomplishment feels good, doesn't it. Did you breath a big sigh of relief when that final photo was posted? I sure did. Thanks for stopping in and sharing in the celebration.
@randystreat Thank you for the congratulations, Kathy. How sweet of you to drop in and share a note. Reaching a goal is such a rewarding experience, and inspiring to carry on in the hopes of repeating the joy again.
@nicoleterheide Thank you, Nicole. I spent most of the day mulling ideas over in my head, trying to figure out how to wrap this project up. Including rust and brown seemed appropriate, considering there's so much of it in my album. Thanks for your interest and comments shared along the way.
@lyndemc I just went back and had a look and guess what, it is almost certain that it was your photo of Paige, the conure that got me started following you. Isn't that a surprise? :-)
@lyndemc I just had another look and you were the second person to comment on any posting of mine - back on 02 Jan and guess what. It was a photo of Maggie ha ha ha http://365project.org/terryliv/365/2014-01-02 Mary Beth @tahoemb was the third person to make a comment (I'm ignoring Rohan and Sonia). It's interesting going back to the start. I actually think that the pic on 2 Jan was pretty bloody good.
A wonderful idea for your 365th. I've so enjoyed viewing your wonderful and creative captures. So very glad to know you will be continuing on and I look forward to the next 365!
@neatz Thank you, Anita, for the generous compliments, congratulations and fav on this final picture of my first project. It feels really good to have accomplished the goal.
@thresheg Thank you, Graham, for both the congratulations and the many comments and favs you shared with my pictures along the way.
@shepherdmanswife Thanks so much for the congrats. You've known this feeling a few times yourself. It's sweet, isn't it.
@denisefuller Denise, thank you for the note of congrats. Here's to Year 2 of this project!
@purplelilac Thanks so much, Brenda, for the congrats, and for all the nice comments you've shared on my picture over the year.
@pammerritt Pam, a comment like the one you've shared here is a huge inspiration for me! Thanks for that.
@linnypinny Awe, thanks Lin. It's very nice to know my pictures are enjoyed. That's inspiring, in a big way. Looking forward to our second year of sharing and viewing pictures!
@skipt07 Thanks Skip! Feels really good to have accomplished the goal. Now to tackle more goals for photography here on 365.
@vstap Ahh, thanks! I'm still smilin' from having managed to reach that 365 goal without interruption. Here's to the next year!
@coreylablansphotography Crazy self-imposed — they were a real pain somedays, but I'm glad I was able accomplish the goal. Thanks for the congrats, Corey.
@merteskid Thanks so much, Jo!! You're a sweetheart to come by and share such an enthusiastic congrats. It feels good to have reached this milestone. You bet I'm going to keep on clickin' and sharin' and stayin' in touch.
CONGRATULATIONS DENISE! You have had so many amazing photos this past year! I have loved following you and so appreciated all the time and effort you put into your comments. You are a great photographer and your commentaries have so amused many of us! Good luck with the next year! Just noticed that we are on the Top Twenty together!!!!! Congrats again!
@fayefaye Thank you so much, Faye! And congratulations on your TT frozen bubble. That is an amazing picture. It truly is. Thank you too for making this first year of mine quite the memorable one, with all your comments and compliments. You've boosted my confidence numerous times and helped make the whole experience all the more enjoyable. So glad you're sticking close to 365 this year as well.
A very well done project!!! My project hasn't been as 'pure' but boy, I've learned a lot! Hope to jump back in wholeheartedly before long. Congrats on this milestone, and I look forward to the journey ahead!
@swillinbillyflynn Thanks for that complimentary observance. Believe me though, there were struggles. It's nice to have the first year completely successfully tho.
Congratulations, you made it! And a good job well done. Glad you have enjoyed it so much. It's quite a tough thing at times, isn't it? I too look at my little piece of English town I see every day and wonder what on earth I can find to photograph this time! I complete on New Year's Eve this year and I think I will stay next year but not worry if I have any gaps and can't do it every day. It will be nice to have succeeded all the way through once and I want it to remain a joy and not a chore. Well done you!
Hello Denise!
Just wanted to say that I miss seeing your photos! Hope that all is well with you and that you are still creating with your camera as you have a natural talent! Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful 2018!
Congratulations on completing 365!
It is quite a feat to have been able to post a photo that was taken on the scheduled day. I have enjoyed following you for the entire year and as well as your photographs I really enjoyed reading your comments, we started pretty much at the same time and I'm really looking forward to your next 365 photos.

Just wanted to say that I miss seeing your photos! Hope that all is well with you and that you are still creating with your camera as you have a natural talent! Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful 2018!
