366/366: I want to be free. I am free.

I couldn't wait until day broke to be done with my 365 days. It's Dec 31 and I needed to be done. To be free. To spend the last day of 2008 without the shadow of my final SP hanging over me. I wanted to go to the top of the hill overlooking Baseline Lake with the Front Range of the Rockies in the distance as that vista gives me immense peace of mind. But I didn't want to try to work that into my day as I already have too many things I need to do tomorrow. So this is it. I am done.

366 self portraits. One for each day of 2008.

It's been wonderful.
It's been painful.
It took me away from my family.
It introduced me to people I admire.

I am no longer shy of being in front of the camera.
I hate it when other people point their cameras at me from the wrong angle.
I didn't have any expectations.
I almost quit many times.
I had a feeling that I didn't need to take an SP of myself to learn more about myself.
I now know for a fact that I don't need to take an SP of myself to learn more about myself.

It wasn't a journey.
On some days, it even became a chore.

Only 4 of my SPs made it to Explore:
Day 149
Day 209
Day 242
Day 278

I started the ashinam chronicles when I realized that I wanted to write my own ridiculous quotes instead of using other people's ridiculous quotes.

My most viewed SP is about moles and the hits have nothing to do with the awful SP that it is. It's the info in the description that brings the views.

My most interesting SP is about the environment, a subject close to my heart. Again, the quality of the photo has very little to do with it.

My most faved SP is where I am flipping the bird. Thanks to all 7 of you who faved that pic. :-D

My most commented on SP is my birthday SP - a copycat. That's how original I am.

Thank you all very much for making this project enjoyable for me. The conversations kept me going. For now, it's a great feeling to be done!

I am done!!!!

Happy New Year to you, my friends! It's going to be a tough year but we can still make it a good year!
