364/365. Ending Credits — meet Trammell
If you were waiting to hear some final words... well then pay attention because these are them.
First, this is the Internet's Mark Trammell. He was kind enough fill in for the 364th spot.
Other than that... So it seems that the time has finally come where I'm rolling the credits before the curtain closes on this long, painful, and educational project. Throughout the day I've had repeating lyrics in my head from Lose Yourself since I've never felt such an overwhelming pressure to produce something amazing for my final photo (tomorrow).
Regarding thanks.... well, there's Erin. And... yeah. Then of course there's about a hundred other people, but really; I'd just end up leaving people out.
Regading the project itself. I started this thing to learn, grow, and share. I honestly didn't think it would earn Mashable's Flickr Photographer of the Year, or be featured on the Flickr Blog, or even yet, land the most flattering Strobist Interview. It truly feels like I Forrest Gump'd my way through this.
Regarding all of you. This is important for you to know. I am not the greatest at this. I see things the way I see them — then I take pictures of them in light, angles, and colors that I see fitting. And then I shared them with you. Hopefully, removing some of the magic behind it by documenting them in a way that made most sense to me had I been picking up this thing for the first time. I can only hope it was useful for you. Plus it was free. As in beer.
Anyway, if you're interested in keeping up with what I'm doing outside of the photo world — I'm on Twitter as @ded.
