Wow, after 2 years and 730 daily photos I can finally say this project is finished! I’ve enjoyed the practice of taking and posting one photo for every day of the year but now that it’s over I’ll admit to feeling a little overwhelmed by the pace of creating 30 new photos every single month. Scaling back to a few per week seems a lot more realistic and I’m looking forward to a lighter schedule, posting when I want and jumping back into some of the challenges I’ve missed.
Instead of 7 images and 1 full week we’ve got a super-sized gallery of 11 to finish out the year and I like the stories that they tell. We start with a street performer in Seattle, a sleepy Finn and a beautiful sunset. Ryan and I sat together in the car on a clear, cold night unable to leave this view while the radio played an acoustic version of David Bowie’s Space Oddity. My last 7 shots are an exploration of the soft blues and grays that make up so much of our Pacific Northwest winters. For editing I reached back to some tried and true favorites so you see one shot processed with Oggl and the rest were finished with VSCO. All images were shot with my iPhone 7+.
If you’d like to see the whole year again I’ll have a dedicated page posted soon to join my previous years recaps from the 1 Day 1 World Project and A Surprise Every Day with Hipstamatic.

Good for you, Lisa. It’s been fun. This week, although I like the gallery a lot, I really love the header photo. Is this the same blog theme? Looks good, whether old or new.

I’m happy to hear you like the gallery and header image, Janet! I recently changed my theme to Lovecraft and it allows for a header on the home page as well as featured image ones on each individual post.

I’m so impressed with the schedule you maintained for two years, Lisa! I look forward to seeing what you’ll be interested in showing now that you have lightened your daily expectations. I suspect your eye is now so expertly trained you will be tempted to continue adding to your portfolio. 🙂

I get the feeling you’re looking forward to warmer weather to enjoy those beach scenes, am I right? But our water views are beautiful any time of year. Congratulations on your completion of this photo-a-day goal!

Warmer days can’t come soon enough, D’Arcy I’m freezing today! Our snow is almost gone though – I hope yours is clearing up too. 🙂
