2012 - Wouldja believe I been at it a whole year?

☆☆☆☆☆

It is my first bloggy birthday. When I started working this little project my goal was to stimulate my creativity and stretch my artistic muscle.  I said  "... a post a week.  Hey, I can do anything for a year, right?"  Well, I didn't quite post once a week, technically, but according to my stats I more than made up for it in sheer numbers.  

I am stubborn as hell so I'm not really all that surprised I met my target. I already know that when I put my mind to something I 'git 'er done'.  It's just a matter of getting said mind on board with said something and then makin' 'er shine like the top of the Chrysler building. Yeah, yeah yeah... a great number of my pictures are shit, I know this. But many are good. Some are even really good.  And, you know what?  A select few of my pictures are so fucking wicked awesome they'll make you cry.  And that, my friends, is how I See.

So, what the hell did I get out of it then?
