365/365 - the end


365/365 - the end
Originally uploaded by riebhoff
Well...as of this morning, I had no idea what I was going to do with the final shot of my 365. I felt I had to do something a bit out of the ordinary, but was really struggling on a concept.

Not sure how this one came to be, but as a student was finishing up their Algebra exam after school, I set up my camera on my desk, grabbed my remote shutter release and started clicking away. Poor kid! (Don't worry, he got an A and he had a good chuckle or two at my antics as well)

The tone of the image may suggest that I am bored or tired out from this year-long project. Actually, it is quite the opposite as I am completely filled with joy right now.

Although there were times where I struggled along the way, my wife, kids, students and friends helped keep me on track. To all my flickr contacts and all the others I have met along the way, a huge thank you. It was truly a pleasure traveling this road with you.

Well, that is it! Wow!

  1. Well I for one am truly sad this project is over. It has been fun watching you develop new skills and tricks. Your skills as a photographer have definitely grown. You capture life (especially our children) as its meant to be captured. I am so proud of you for sticking it out the entire year. Can't wait to see what you come up with next. I Love You!

  2. Congratulations, Rick, on a dream achieved! I agree with Michele; I'm sad to see it end because I've loved coming here each day and seeing who and what you've captured, and in such unique ways. You truly have a gift with the lens and I hope you continue to post your pictures so we can follow you. Again, HEARTY congrats for a job so very well done! xxoo
