[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 283515, member: 9240"] The weird thing is that I've surrounded myselves with some props (e.g. chess pieces) in anticipation of days with little time to shoot that would have made taking a shot fairly easy. But the truth is I just needed to acknowledge there are days where it's OK to not squeeze off a photo because I utterly lack the desire to do it. I came into this challenge thinking, "This will be good to try", and not saying, "I'm really commiting myself to do this", and it's inspired me to come up with things I never would have thought to shoot. So for me, it's been a success, and will continue on simply because it stretches me to look everyday for something. The carrot at the end was never the reason I started, so there's no reason to feel like as if not going 365 is by any means a "failure" - in fact, it's quite the opposite. And should be for anyone who's still posting, provided it's a vehicle for growth and not just a catalog of a year's worth of snapshots. [/QUOTE]
