You Are Stars by myautofocuslife

You Are Stars

And I do mean you. You are a star. I want to thank you.

Thank you for being on my 365 journey with me. Thank you for taking precious time out of your busy schedule to stop by, take a look at my photo and leave a comment. Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. Your constant support helped me, motivated me, kept me going. And so I am one day away from completing my project because you made a difference. I have no doubt of that.

Thank you. 8)

Congratulations! Especially loved those macros of yours!
November 18th, 2012  
Simplicity at its best! Great composition and you deserve a big gold star yourself! Thanks for teaching me all about jumping spiders, I will never look at them in quite the same way again! :-)
November 18th, 2012  
Congrats on reaching the end of your project! Way to go!!!
November 18th, 2012  
Congrats! You have such a wonderful talent! I hope to still see you around here(?)! If not, good luck continuing your photographic journey outside of 365!
November 18th, 2012  
What a lovely thank, yes you deserve a star yourself Livia. A simple photo as many of yours have been but as always such brilliant composition to great effect.
November 18th, 2012  
Congratulations on completing a most wonderful project. Enjoyed your photos, information, comments and support.
November 18th, 2012  
Congratulations Livia - you're almost there! I've so enjoyed your amazing macros of those 'cute' little jumping spiders plus the many other great shots that you've posted. Great simplicity and message here - thanks to you!
November 18th, 2012  
A big well done and congratulations on your project. I have very much enjoyed your shots, especially the spider ones. Thank you too, Livia, for supporting my project as well. Hope this won't be the end for you, and that we'll see more of your micro world! :-)
November 18th, 2012  
Congratulations! ~ love this shot! and all the others you have posted
November 18th, 2012  
I need to thank you since you were the first or second to follow me in this project. You are one of my stars!!!
November 18th, 2012  
wow, how does it feel to be one shot away from completion?
November 18th, 2012  
Yet Another lovely shot, Your Macro shots were outstanding Livia.
November 18th, 2012  
How exciting! Great choice! I am always so happy to see one of us make it to the end--a lot of folks unfortunately do not-- the gold stars should be for you! Congrats!!!!!
November 18th, 2012  
Congratulations Livia - your photos have been so inspiring and beautiful throughout. Hope you continue after tomorrow x
November 18th, 2012  
Lovely composition, and thank you for your complement to your followers - but the real star here is you, with your fabulous macro shots!
November 18th, 2012  
You've done such a great job that even though I only followed you through the final stages of your project, it's always been a pleasure. Congrats and thank you, too! :)
November 18th, 2012  
This is a fav... it's so fun and I am thrilled for you to have shared so much with us. Beautiful work, lovely appreciation and support. I am so glad to have been able to be a part of your journey on 365. Congratulations!
November 18th, 2012  
Great simple composition. I love it. Congratulations on your project and your comments on my pictures.
November 18th, 2012  
Of course I meant "thank you" for your comments on my pictures.
November 18th, 2012  
I want to thank you, Livia - for the wonderful images you have shared with us, for the wonderful support you have given my project and for your wonderful friendship!
November 18th, 2012  
Awesome capture. One of the things that always amazes me about you is your humbleness and the fact that you always take your time to comment on so many others photos. So now that you're about to finish, which photo would you say is your favorite taken so far by you?
November 18th, 2012  
Lovely composition! So, you are almost done :)
November 18th, 2012  
Wonderful shot!!
November 18th, 2012  
Thank you for all those wonderful spider close-ups! I'm not familiar with the camera you use but don't change because you have MASTERED it I hope you continue as I look forward to seeing your posts!
November 18th, 2012  
Ah Livia, you're an inspiration!
November 18th, 2012  
Livia, this is lovely. I am going to miss you so much. I loved all your photos as well as your narratives. Often I would venture over to your site to be amused and entertained ;-) You were my bright star in the AM, when I usually sign onto 365.
November 18th, 2012  
Great idea. Love your creativity always. I am running late completing mine...we will probably cross that finish line together. Have loved following you!
November 18th, 2012  
Awesome composition
November 18th, 2012  
Though I came late to your journey I traveled back in time so that I might experience the breadth and depth of your photography and insightful commentary. You once mentioned a blog. Do you still maintain one? If so, I would love to know where I might occasionally drop by and take in a dash of the flavor you added to my early days on 365.
November 18th, 2012  
Just want to add to the above Livia, you have been an inspiration, I aspire to your macro shots with all the creepy crawlies you miraculously find! You have supported me since I began my project for which I thank you..... It's been a pleasure, really it has, to follow you. I wish you all the best in your post 365 data, but sincerely hope we see you back on here from time to time......
November 18th, 2012  
Oh this is so final! Lovely shot and you have (sort of) Mr Bottle in there too; it has been my pleasure to follow your shots Livia they are seriously amazing. I have loved your bjd's, your jumping spiders and your beautiful tiny trinkets, all have been a pleasure to view and easy to comment on their brilliance. I appreciate you have to follow your heart and get back to other hobbies but please if you can pop in every now and then and post a wonderful shot or two, wean us off gradually:0)
November 18th, 2012  
Very nice penultimate shot. I have so enjoyed your photos - I hope you stop back in once in a while.
November 18th, 2012  
It's all been said above....Thank You....enjoy your time to game, but come see us every now and again, when you find that you have to go to the forest and take a picture of your jumping spiders...share it with us! I have found it a privilege to follow you and see your wonderful shots and to have you comment on my attempts!
November 18th, 2012  
Very cool. I could do with more gold stars...
November 18th, 2012  
Great shot! And it's been a pleasure to see your wonderful shots.
November 18th, 2012  
No thank you. Your shots have been inspirational.
November 18th, 2012  
This is a lovely thank you picture... we all have to thank you for taking us on your journey...

What kind of lighting did you use in this pic? Is it a white tent, or a lamp or a flash? It's just perfect!
November 18th, 2012  
Livia, you were among the first people I started following. It has truly been a delight for me to view each and every one of your photos. You have an incredible eye. I have appreciated and enjoyed each of your shots. I hope you find the time to keep posting. And THANK YOU.

very sweet shot! congrats to you!!!
November 19th, 2012  
@jsw0109 Feels unreal. A whole year! It feels like 10. XD

@losthorizon I only get to choose one!? XD I have tagged some of my own photos as personal favourites: http://365project.org/tags/livia-personalfavourite The snake shot is special. It would be my absolute favourite. Not because it's such a great shot but because the experience is an unforgettable one. When I think about it, it feels like it happened only yesterday. I took so many shots. I was so happy, so excited! I was so close, I could have kissed it. Such a beautiful wild snake and I happened to be there and I got to shoot it. I will never forget how it felt. 8)

@gnilrets Not changing my camera at all! I have no desire to upgrade to a dSLR. Thank you very much for stopping by. 8)

@aecasey I have a blog on Livejournal mostly for anime and game stuff but I hardly ever update it anymore. No time for blogging. XD

@adeakinyede *LOL* Always happy to hear from you, Ade! I hope all is well with you. 8D

@velina I rely on natural lighting. I don't have lighting equipment. All my shots are done in natural sunlight, next to a window, with the light coming through the clear glass pane. My macro shots are by natural (morning) light as well. 8)
November 19th, 2012  
Love this and instant FAV! Congratulations on completing your year!! I really hope you decide to continue. your photos have been such an inspiration to me. You are really the star! :) Xx
November 19th, 2012  
Such touching words. Thank you Livia, for sharing all your wonderful jumping spider shots with us! This is a beautiful capture.
November 19th, 2012  
Fabulous! I so enjoy your work.
November 19th, 2012  
Beautiful shot Livia, congrats and thank you too for sharing your work of art and for helping me identify some of my insects that i dont know the names.
November 19th, 2012  
Beautiful star shot! Thank you for your wonderful insect pics, and especially the cute jumping spiders! I really hope you're not going to leave us, or 365 will lose one of my favourite stars too!
November 19th, 2012  
Love your words Livia and congratulation on being 99% complete. Howe wonderful! I must say I have enjoyed viewing your photos which are unique and your macros are amazing....no tripod.....amazing. Thankyou Livia for sharing your shots.
November 19th, 2012  
You are the star! Thank you! xx This is great like all your images
November 19th, 2012  
Only one day left and I feel we have been on a long journey together. I remember when you first started last year and have always enjoyed your photos and time. You are the star
November 19th, 2012  
Lin
I've felt so lucky to see your photos, your jumping spiders, your dolls, and a hint of your dark side! LOL. I've loved your spirit as it's come across through 365, it's been such a pleasure having you out there!
November 19th, 2012  
Rob
Loving this! I have really enjoyed your project!
November 19th, 2012  
One day away?! You have to still post sometimes ......I would miss your spiders too much!
November 19th, 2012  
Oh, wow, it seems to have come so quickly since you started counting down!
November 19th, 2012  
love this shot!!! One day to go! Are you going to continue?
November 19th, 2012  
Time sure does fly...Thank You for sharing all your talents with us!!!
November 19th, 2012  
Congratulations on getting there, Livia; I know it has been hard at times. You have inspired so many of us and I have always felt honoured when you have commented on my pics. And that Holy Batballs photo...! I hope you won't abandon your camera.
November 19th, 2012  
A lovely shot Livia, and a sentiment to match.

I will miss your presence on here so much, your great photos, the fact that you dare to be different, that you bare your soul, that you are always so generous in your comments, not just on my photos, but many other people's as well.

I read your very kind comments thanking me on one of Mick's photos and I was very touched by it Livia. You are a star, very brightly shining in the 365 firmament, and I will miss you. One of the secrets in life is always leave your audience wanting more. If tomorrow is your last post you will have achieved this, but 365 without you will be a much duller, poorer place. YOU ARE A 365 LEGEND. Don't stay away too long. XD as you would say ;)
November 19th, 2012  
Wonderful penultimate shot!!!! It's been an absolute joy to look at your wrk and to have known you here......if you're not coming back we are sooo going to miss you and your 8 legged friends!!!! Congratulations on a wonderful year and some totally amazing shots!

November 19th, 2012  
Wow! You have made me smile so many times throughout my journey here on 365! Your photos and comments have brightened many days! Who ever thought that I would ever think that a jumping spider was adorable?!!! Your perspectives have given me a new way to view my world! I hope you will continue to make me smile! YOU are a star!!!
November 19th, 2012
