i started 2011 with a project that i really loved. it was a 365 project, a photo a day. i wanted to do it so i could stop making excuses for leaving my camera at home, i wanted to bring it everywhere i went and take at least one decent photo a day. i did really good for just over 2 months - and then i stopped. i blame the event of losing all of my florida photos, all 1500 of them. {i cant be trusted with external hard drives, OR thumb drives, apparently}
i wish i kept going. "you could start it back up again" maddie would say - and maybe i could. its not like i love unfinished projects. i just dont think im good at it {finishing things}
but today i was going through the site and i missed it. i miss my florida photos. {so. much.} i miss the project. i miss everything about it. i miss sending them to maddie first, to give me an honest opinion.

i miss this owl. she was beautiful. 

maybe i will start it back up again. feel productive with my photography on a personal level. because im incredibly busy and fortunate for the people who love my photography, but i also love the feeling i get when i actually take a photo on my own. its one of the best feelings ive ever felt. "you need to stop being so sappy" elijah would say. {my friends voices are in my head. always. all. ways.} but its different, i love when i take a photo and think "grandpa would love this" and i feel that way about this owl.
