But then as I turned the key a thought struck me. It was just one word really. Why. Why was I doing it? Was it for me...or for the 365? Unfortunately the answer I arrived at was...it was for the 365. I wasn't going out today to shoot for me. But for the 365. And that didn't sit too well with me. I started this 365 to improve my photography. But what I have come to realize is that a couple of times I posted something...just to post it. To stay in the running. But that went against what I am trying to do. I am trying to capture a photo. Not just take one. It is defeating my goal of shooting with a purpose. For me I would rather withdraw from the 365 then go against my main reason of shooting. And that is to make each photo count. So today I set the camera down and just enjoyed a day of not shooting. But chose to reflect on why I bought my Nikon dSLRs, and for what purpose I bought them.It just didn't feel right anymore to post a photo I wasn't proud of. So I am out of the 365. But I will continue to post in this thread. From now on I will only post the date taken, but not the --/365. Good luck to everyone still in the running!!</blockquote>
