[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 555609, member: 13090"] Well everyone I'm going to keep this short... I'm calling off my 366 for this year. I'm done. I've been thinking this over for days and I finally realized it's what I need to do. The reasons are many but mainly I've decided to let it go because the thrill is gone; it's not fun for me anymore. The first year I learned so much about my gear, about composition, about my gear, about myself as a photographer, about my gear... And it was a lot of FUN. Recently however that enjoyment has just... Vaporized. My 365 has been feeling like a "chore" more and more often and I think it shows, frankly, in the quality of work I've been posting lately; most of it I'm really just not too happy with. Add to this the fact I'm picking up more paid photography work and showing more work in galleries and even a *little* of that takes up what seems like a huuugely disproportionate amount of my time. I really, REALLY had no idea. Then too there are techniques and styles of shooting I want to explore and experiment with and I want to delve more deeply into learning Photoshop and the list goes on and on and I said I'd keep this short. So yeah... I'll still post to this thread on occasion, but I'm calling it on :: What's That Smell? :: Now I'm off to do some of the processing I am so woefully behind on. Cheers! ~ Paul [/QUOTE]
