Robert's Ramblings

What is it to set a goal, a Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) and then finally find yourself at its manifestation?

When I began this project it was a simple but ambitious '365 Days' project with a twist, 2012 had 366 of them. At its completion the once audacious goal seemed to become something far less than its original design. 366 days became 1000, my goal had just expanded and the project gained a new life.

Now I find myself at the end of 1000 images and the palpable déjà vu of being here before. What next? A new goal like Thomas Hawk's 'one million published images' might be a little too hairy to contemplate but I will create something to keep me driven and practice this amazing craft we once called photography.

Thank you to everyone who supported me in this project and especially my wife Jennifer and the countless hours of imaging, editing and posting that she graciously allowed and supported. Support is important and without it I would not have reached 1000.

So here it is, image number 1000. A selfie taken at my favorite location Henley Beach Jetty along with my very first attempt at light painting.

It may not be beautiful but I am happy to have a little fun to finish with.
