This will come as no surprise to the people that know me, but I am pulling the pin on the 52 Week self portrait project, and the iPhone 365 Day project. I thought it would push me. I thought I would enjoy the challenge. I thought I might have grown up and wouldn’t get bored with it. I was wrong.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That said, I did manage 36 stunningly gorgeous self portraits<\/a>. That’s a whopping 69.32% finished.<\/p>\n

The iPhone 365 project was less successful. 50 shots so far<\/a>, that equates to 13.69%. A massive failure in anyone’s books. Given the fact that I carry the bastard with me everywhere I go, it is a disappointment.<\/p>\n

What does this mean for my photography? Bugger all really. I will still be out there pointing my light capture box at all manner of things, just not as part of a strictly regimented project. Having to meet a deadline isn’t one of my strong points and I get bored easily. I don’t know what I was thinking.<\/p>\n

Something else it has shown me is the fantastic effort made by people like Kendra “Chapendra” Sundvall<\/a>, who is on her 4th 365 Day project, and still going strong.<\/p>\n

The uber talented Lakshal “Lucky” Perera<\/a>, who last year produced some terrific work in his 52 Weeks Project.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, Andrew “Andrew G” Gunsberg<\/a> is currently about 75% of the way through his own 365 Day project<\/a>, and it has all sorts of goodness in it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It takes a hell of a lot of patience, talent, discipline and creativity to finish these things off, and I don’t have an overflowing cup of any of them. I tips me lid to all the people out there doing this sort of thing. Well done.<\/p>\n
