Day 365 of 365 – Wrapping It Up
Camera Model: Canon EOS 7D
Exposure: 0.004 sec (1/250)
Aperture: f/11.0
Focal Length: 145 mm
ISO: 100
Well… WOW! Today marks the end of my 365 project for 2009.
Let’s get the bragging (er stats) out of the way first:
Days Photograph was taken: 365
Days Photograph was posted: 365
Days Missing: 0
When I started this project I thought, probably like most people, this can’t be that tough. I mean you click the shutter and upload the image. And true, it isn’t tough in that regard. What is tough is trying to be creative on a regular basis and produce something other than a snapshot daily. I can’t say I was successful in doing that 365 days but I think I was successful in doing it quite a bit more than I wasn’t.
I have to thank so many people for their support during this project. First is my family. Especially my son, who modeled patiently and sometimes a little less than patiently but still stood there 
. My wife who put up with my photography gear spread out on the kitchen table night after night and the photography gear that has taken up permanent residence in a corner of our living room.
Next is the Flickr Photo A Day 2009 group and the ClanFlickr group. Both of these groups are full of great people. Before this year I had really no contacts on Flickr and hadn’t really used flickr much. I have met nearly all of my contacts through these groups and have really grown to love the community on flickr. Your comments and visits to my stream have been so encouraging and have really motivated me to keep going with this project.
Don’t tune out just yet if you are following me on Flickr, My Blog, Twitter or Facebook . Next year, though less structured, I hope to produce just as much content and continue to learn and grow with my passion of photography. I hope that you will stick around with me. I am also looking forward to the things that my contacts have planned for next year. It promises to be very exciting and fun.
Happy New Year everyone may 2010 be full of everything good for you. And Keep on Clicking

Very cool. I don’t think many of us lasted from day 1 to day 365. Congratulations to both of us on that one.
Special congratulations and hearty thanks go to yourself for all the commenting you did not only on my photographs, but on very many of the other PAD players as well as the Flickrverse in general. Take a bow, sir!
Jeff this is wonderful, a very perfect way to end your project! Congrats on seeing it through, it is a challenging undertaking to say the least! Just know that it takes a bit of getting used to the unstructured part, I felt like like I was always forgetting to do something for a few weeks =)
Can’t wait to see what 2010 holds for your images, should be a fun year!
Happy New Year to you and yours!

Thank you all; I had a blast doing the project but I am glad it is finished and I have moved on to some more flexible ones for 2010. Thanks again for all of your comments and support throughout 2009; it was wonderful.
Congrats on completing an impressive year-long project. I struggled sometimes to come up with one post a week for my 52 item project and stand in awe of 365. I look forward to seeing more of your photographs in 2010.
very creative good job
Happy New Year Jeff & congratulations on completing the project. Quite an acheivement.
Can’t believe you didn’t miss a day – that’s a real achievement Jeff! Congrats. And what a stunning shot to celebrate – i’m off to mag7 for this year but will keep following your photostream, it’s been such a good year on Flickr!
Excellent montage image! Congrats on finishing the project!

Great image, think it would’ve taken me the whole year just to process that!
Congrats on making it through a 365.
Cool shot.
