One year ago today I took on a “Picture A Day” project with the goal of shooting 366 (leap year!) reasonably good pictures and posting them for the world to see.

On Monday I finished that project, and never missed a shot.
First First Entry to last… The End

Along the way I acquired new equipment, flew a kite with a camera hanging from it on a 9700′ peak, went underwater, did a self-portrait while wakeboarding, got kicked out of five different places, broke a Canon 10D, froze time, stretched time, went to places I never would have gone, shot pictures for a movie, got a few accolades, met tons of new people, became addicted to Flickr, learned how to light, and ended up a much better photographer.

The results are on flickr and also on my apadblog.

Before that project I was an occasional blogger (just look at the history here), but I ended up doing a post a day on apadblog, sometimes about the photos and sometimes about the circumstances around the photos. I’m now moving back over to this blog and will continue with that style. This week I’m going to be talking a lot about some of the experiences I had and lessons I learned (intermingled with a few new photos).
