The Finish

This is the final day of my challenge. It came without celebration, but I am very glad for my challenge to be over. Some days really sucked. I had to force myself to get a shot in some days. Other days, photos came like pouring rain and managing those were quite a task (not really). I was very good about making post in a timely matter, but towards the end, laziness piled up and doing a post became a chore!
Over the year, I have grown quite a bit. My writing style has improved, my shooting has changed, my lens collection has changed dramatically, I have matured more, and I have grown more into what I am now: me. I cannot label myself really, but I am sort of many things: a photographer, a journalist, an artist, an athlete, and so much more, but it is imperative that I stay true to who I am: me. However, on with the blog
As far as this blog is concerned and what my readers will be aware of are the changes. I will continue to post shots, but there will be no daily post (or some facsimile of that,) rather, I will have a top five. My top five can be from any given time of the week and I can have multiple shots in a day. This will last until I leave for my mission (date of departure yet to be determined.)  For the time being, simply enjoy my work while you can.
My last shot of the challenge may not be the most interesting, however, I have not done a shot like this before (or at least none I can think of.) I am changing my style, and whatever I find to be different in a good way will be pursued.
As much as I have grown as a photographer and journalist this year,I still have a lot to learn. Someday I aspire to do great things with my profession, but to get there requires a lot of work. I am working as hard as I can to get ahead in this line of work. Some may not think it, but being a photographer can be just  as hard work as any other profession. And like any other profession, it is difficult to get to the top.
Thank you for reading my posts this year.I assure you, I still have much more to offer.
