Year 4 by soboy5

Year 4

My 4th year on Project 365 ends today and in the words of the Grateful Dead, "what a long strange trip it's been". The year started out well with a tour of the American Southwest desert, and two photographic trips to Apalachicola, Florida and Daytona Beach, Florida helped with my inspiration.

Year 4 saw my first commercial photographic success in many years, selling three of my fine art images to an art collector. And I had one photo journalism paid gig.

Stats for year four: 221 images posted, 211 made Trending (95%), 67 made Popular Page (31%), 4 made Flickr Explore and 1 made Top Twenty.

Other than the photo trips, I have found it increasingly difficult to stay inspired when photographing locally. I will try to take more trips in Year 5 to get re-inspired. I need to photograph new places, new things. I think we all do.

You may have noticed I no longer post daily. The pressure of daily postings became too much for me at the halfway point of year 4. Until then, I had not missed a day of postings in 3.5 years, and I hold my images to a quality standard that is difficult to maintain daily. However, I will remain here for Year 5 as it is the friendliest place on the web and I have many established friendships here. So look for me posting weekly from now on.

Finally, and most importantly, thanks for all your kindness, support, comments, favs and most of all, for your friendship over this past year. You are the reason I am here on 365.

See you around!

Such a beautiful collage and it's a Fav! It sounds like you had a very successful year. That is wonderful. I understand what you mean about being uninspired at home as that is how I am feeling right now. Even though you are on 365 less often, I'm glad you are continuing. I enjoy your beautiful photos.
