Well it's been a year, but I've done it. There were times when I thought I might run out of ideas, but in the end I crossed the line with plenty more in the tank. I've learned a lot over the year and will try to summarise this at some point, but for now I can enjoy my photography at a less frenetic pace than forcing myself to take pictures everyday. I'll stick with PB, but for the time being will be more leisurely in my approach to it.

Thanks to everyone, mainly friends but occasional visitors too, who helped me get through by dropping by and offering support, fine words and occasionally even critisism.

Thanks also to those of you, again mainly friends - but not always, who have proved to be inspirations. Giving me ideas from your your daily postings.

Overall I‘d recommend Project 365 to anyone. And sometime soon, I'll do a post to explain why.

Thanks All,

JJ

Hey, well done Jon !! I only caught the last 4 or 5 months of your project, but loved every minute of it :-)) Yes you'd better do that post to explain why, 'cos i can't ever see myself doing it...saying that I'm already commited to certain days of the week here, and I once said never before and that was a big mistake :-))) ????? · 2009-11-16: 16:59

You know, you better go to some more Charlton home games this season, because I was beginning to think that these were your best and funniest post ;-)) ????? · 2009-11-16: 19:01

I had the same idea of your last shot for when I get back to work (It's been over 3 months) Let me know if you have any suggestions:) I have to say Jon that by far you have the most creative blog on PB. If 365 was the cause of it, I surely hope you don't give it up! But take a deep breath, relax (for only a short time) and then get back to sharing your wonderful art with your friends! dontblink · 2009-11-16: 20:01

Haha... Congrats. I have been enjoying your posts a lot. Thanks for this nice sharing! huiching · 2009-11-16: 20:09

Congrats on finishing your year, Jon. I'd love to hear your reasons for recommending Project 365....always thought it wouldn't be for me, although I truly admire those who take it on. May I echo Brian's words? Most creative blog on PB.... lookagain · 2009-11-16: 21:21

great set!! congratulations!! jennye · 2009-11-16: 21:40

Outstanding way to send off, Jon. Too bad you didn't get the cork shot, but we all get it and it is still nice in spirit. Anyway, congrats on the milestone. Enjoy some relaxation from PB for a few hours at least. But don't even think of leaving the house without a camera everyday still. I guarantee you tomorrow if you do so, you'll see something amazing. ;) smbunation · 2009-11-16: 22:41

Jon, great congrats, we are very proud of meet you here and watch and read your posts! as I told you sometimes your posts are like photographic handbook.great kiss from old woman to you! gonia · 2009-11-17: 01:18

It is an honor to enjoy your photos, experimentation and humor Jon, Happy FIRST birthday here at photo blog!! Ryana · 2009-11-17: 01:32

CONGRATULATIONS on completeing your 365!!!!! I will miss your postings as they always amused and inspired me. I aspire to complete my 365 in such a wonderful way - shame you didn't get the cork shot though!! Hope to see more of your work on PB. Now go and put your feet up! - you deserve it!!!!! ????? · 2009-11-17: 01:43

I was waiting for this with baited breath (ok, normal breath) and missed it by an evening's drive, so congratulations albeit belated ones. Your posts have always been enjoyable, witty, carefully executed, intelligent and vastly entertaining - and that was with a daily deadline. Looking forward to hearing the P365 rationale and what you've learnt from it, but above all to more enjoyable posts. When you get to 500 posts, make sure there are more cameras for the cork. revenant · 2009-11-17: 01:56

Well done Jon....you have been the inspiration to us mere mortals!!! I have a few months to go yet....but I`ll try and emulate your wonderful achievement. LAZYWASP · 2009-11-17: 03:06

Hey, well done for completing the 365 - I remember when you started you asked if I had any tips for doing a 365 - I guess now you are qualified to give a few tips of your own! I hope that you'll continue to post - your entries are always very creative and amusing. busybee36 · 2009-11-18: 13:24
