Dear Watchers,

I tried to space out my journals a bit so that way I wasn't bombarding you with news and images. But it's official; I've finished my 365 project as best as I could. This is a bit more for me, then really for you guys, but I figured I'd share and maybe I'd get a little feedback from you, my watchers, as well.

Firstly, I did this project to improve and in my earlier shots I did, in my opinion. Without having much of a plan though, my shots got very lackluster and very boring quickly. So, to all those attempting this project, or ones similar to it; go in with a plan. It doesn't have to be fancy, but you should have some clue as to what you're doing. Passions wane and wax just like the moon, there were plenty (more then I should have allowed) where I didn't go out and look for something more interesting to shoot. Allow flexibility into your plan; have a fall back image/object in case something doesn't work out for some reason. If I had grabbed one of my various stuffed animals and went outside, there would have many a lot of better shots, even if they were repetitive.

Secondly, be comfortable with looking dumb in public. You have no idea how many strange looks I got carrying around the things I did, or stopping in the middle of the street to get the perfect shot. Plus, I had to work on being okay with doing a self portrait or two. I wasn't comfortable with it before, but now I'm better with taking my own picture and having people photograph me. If you feel a little uncomfortable; that's normal. If you're uncomfortable too much, that's not okay.

Edit/Add on: I'm not planning any more photography based projects this year... at the moment. Who knows? Even in just a year a whole lot changes (another thing I learned from my project). I will be trying to post a drawing of mine at least once a month though. It'll probably be mostly fan art of manga, KPop stars... but that's what I like so that's what I'll draw.

In general, things are going fine with me. It's a new year, a new challenge I suppose. xD I've made some goals for myself, writing based mostly since that's what I've been doing, aside from giving my camera a rest. I hope everyone's holidays were safe, and everyone's healthy.

That's all for now.
