365 project for 2009

For 314 days, I picked up the camera and fired off a shot of Kylie as part of my 365 project. I think I'm a better photographer for it. I think I'm a better Photoshop user. There were some days when picking up the camera seemed like a chore and I only shot a couple of pictures. There were days filled with beautiful light when I would take close to 100 pictures and then get to pick which one was "best". I'm so very grateful that I decided to do the project. I think I captured some really memorable moments of Kylie's life. Now I get to decide if I'm going to do it again for 2010.

Here are the 314 pictures along with some favorite quotes from the year:

In picturing the subject, you are also picturing a part of yourself. Rick Sammon



Design Less Think More. Ellen Lipton



It isn't the great big pleasures that count the most; it's making a great deal out of the little ones. Jean Webster



The good mother is a great artist ever creating beauty out of chaos. Alice Randall



Find something you're passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it. Julia Child



The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.
Frank Lloyd Wright
