So this was me the day after I finished my 365. I was just that happy. As difficult as the 365 was, I’m very glad that I completed it. I learned a great deal about photography over the course of the year; I think I’m a better photographer for it. In the days since I finished, I’ve begun to comprehend the accomplishment and I’m quite proud of it. I’m truly grateful for all of your visits, for your congratulatory messages on day 365 but mainly for your encouragement throughout.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to move forward with my photoblogs. Keeping two sites going is difficult but I have really enjoyed the freedom of focusing on photography here on photoDiurnalis. Being In Focus has always been about photography and writing–the posts take more time to complete. After giving it much thought over the last week I’ve decided to spend more time back on Being In Focus but will post images much more frequently, often without writing. I’ll keep photoDiurnalis alive and will provide a prominent link on Being In Focus to examine the 365 project. I’m also hoping to use photoDiurnalis for some future projects–single image a day, portrait projects, photo-documentary projects etc.
I’m excited about the future and I’m looking forward to spending more time with Being In Focus–my poor, forsaken first child.

To be back to our first loves is good too and i think it’s a good idea, be sure i’ll be around – to see what your inner eyes (seen on this great portrait) feel so well ! SEE u
You certainly deserve that happy smile! Glad to hear you will continue this photography habit and share it with us in whatever form feels best. I’m looking forward to following along.

You should be very proud of yourself!! And – isn’t it great to get some clarity and direction? Will look forward to your work on ‘In Focus’.
Relief? Too bad your eyes are closed ’cause I’m curious to see if you have that twinkle letting us know what’s next!
Congrats again Christopher.
I’ve been trying to figure out exactly what your expression denoted.
I realised that of someone who’d carried something important, and heavy, a very long way. Arrived at their destination, placed it carefully down, and flexed aching muscles with eyes closing in relief.
Great job Chris – I don’t mind if it’s one or two blogs as long as you continue showing us your imagery.
the satisfying smile goes well with you, i like it. And congrats to reach the line!!
This time of the year… “Year End Review Extravaganza”… this depiction takes the “Funny Cakes”, and then covers it in frosting made of… giggles (HA!) Kudos to “Sweet Hilarious”.
Congratulations, Chris. You have a right to smile with the completion of the 365.
Was just thinking of you and this project this weekend. I know that satisfied smile. Still so happy for you and looking forward to what’s next.
