Robert Frost had a way of putting the simplest concepts into words that everyone could relate to. I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Standing for hours on a hill in the freezing cold in gale force winds just waiting for the helium balloons to align, the right way around!! I must also say a big thanks to mum for being such a good sport today. Its a community of fantastic people who have helped me get a spark back! Thank You SO much! You guys know you rock right?! How did that happen? This is just a photo sharing site right.? Wrong. People who have supported, encouraged, understood, made me laugh, made me cry, made me think, helped me dream, and inspired me again and again and again. I had absolutely no idea that I would meet such amazing people. I thought 365 would be the perfect opportunity.

I had no idea when I started out that it would be such an amazing experience! I didn't really know much about it! I had a new camera and wanted to force myself to learn how to use it.

It has been tough, sure, but it has been incredibly healing too. At a time in my life where I have been struggling to put things back together, with so many uncertainties, 365 has been a constant, a safe inspiring place.

I just thought it would be nice to say thanks to someone who helped me along the way at the start, even though we're not on good terms now MirandakarlifranjackjohnabbykatyukacrazybobinncourtsylviealiceetoileallansorryifImissedoutanyonesnames youallhelpedmealotthankyouįor the benefit of anyone who reads this, Miranda and I are not on good terms. I'm well aware that there are twelve choices there. Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion Here are ten of my favourite photos from my year: There is a bug on the inside of my laptop screen. This project has been a major part of my life for an entire year. If you've given me positive or negative criticism, feedback, been a model, been an inspiration, helped me with an idea or even just briefly commented on one of my photos in passing, then I cannot thank you enough. This project was as much about me as it was about the people around me. I don't think it would have been so good if it wasn't for the constant encouragement from my family and friends, both online and offline. I've broken two lenses in the space of one year. About seventy one shots are of my friends. There are ten shoe/foot photos (so much less than I thought there would be). I was going to try and summarise all of my photos into sections, but there's just too much variety to do that. I've made some amazing friends that I probably don't deserve, and kept old friendships going strong. But I cannot stress how much of a fantastic year I've had, really. Where I had done something stupid and didn't know how to make it better (this probably happened more times then it should have done). Then, there were also the times where I had too much work to take a decent photo. I can pretty much remember how I felt when I took each photo. Hanging out and relaxing with the people I love. Photographing my friends for my University coursework. Seeing so many bands that I love, such as The Flaming Lips, Amanda Palmer, Queens of The Stone Age, Rage Against The Machine, Patrick Wolf, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nine Inch Nails, Mogwai, Mono, Holy Fuck, Adam Green, Animal Collective, Seasick Steve, and that's just to name a few. Looking back through the images is so strange.

There aren't 365 photos in the group though, due to some files having multiple days in, and there are two images I haven't uploaded yet. I've stumbled along the way, I've taken some bad, no, terrible photos, I've missed a few days, but I've tried my hardest to make up for them. Things so potentially scary, you just have to go for it, and you know that you're going to finish it, know that you have what it takes to see it through. Things like that are probably the best, though. It seemed like such a daunting task at the start, but so very exciting. There's a whole year of my life, captured in photographs.
