Endings and Beginnings...

So today is the last day of '365 Portraits'. Admittedly there are 366 portraits in the project, but then when I started I had not realised that the project would run across a Leap Year and once I did realise I did not want to change the project name.

You will see yesterday's portrait (#365) and today's (#366) later on today, but for now you will have to make do with today's Ficlet, which you can read here:

I am also going to use this post to announce my 'Thing-a-day' project for 10/05/2008 to 09/05/2009. I am going to __try__ to write a Ficlet every day from tomorrow to the day before my birthday next year. I accept that this may indeed be hubris on a gigantic scale, but I have become hooked on the 'Thing-a-day' concept and I want to stretch myself, so here I go, girding my loins and preparing to do some serious endurance creativity. Clearly I will be keeping y'all posted via this journal (amongst other blogs)...

So which portrait from the year was your favourite? I have my favourite (and no, it's not the one of my husband, although he is devilishly handsome).

Wow, there's a question...

I'm really not sure that I can pick one...

In the spirit of referencing one of my favourite books / films here is my all-time top five (in no particular order):

Because she was my first stranger...

Because it is my most intense memory of the last year...

Because it was my first milestone and the first that I really planned for more than a day...

Because I got to meet, learn from and photograph one of my heroes...

Because she said that she liked it (and that meant an awful lot to me)...

Is yours in there? Will you tell me what yours is?

I want to say one more thing, they are my all-time top five right now but the truth is I love all of them for a million and one reasons and if you asked me tomorrow you'd get a different answer, I am sure.
