It's not the best to be fair Laurie. It's a spur of the moment shot!
Although, the shots that took up the rest of yesterday evening will be posted in a while....... much better low light on those

Hahaha!!! Thanks Darren!
I just really needed to fill the gap on the 366 project as I was busy with the recent visit........ so it really isn't the best shot in the world! lol

 

[Darren Turner]

"just really needed to fill the gap" aint god enough boyo Dedication is the name of the game..........!!

it hard some days though innit, other things like "Life" get in the way, so its just a quick point shoot & that will do kinda thing.

You don't realise how much you have to be committed to this project untill you do it....
Look at me, I'm complaining about it already and it's been 22 days!! Sometimes I don't have access to the computer so it's a matter of a quick iphone shot and posting on the day there and then......
I could play the catch up game, but even so I'm not getting my Oly out everyday. I'm trying my best

I've been having a think.......
I'm finding it very difficult to do this project. To me I feel like I have to enter any random unthought of crap in order to get my 'entry' in and that's simply just not me.
unPP'd, regular iphone, rushed and uncomposed work just doesn't cut the mustard for myself to display what my work is all about..... not only am I super strapped for time with 2 under 3 year old tear arsing around the show, but, when it comes to the crunch during childrens bedtime...... motivation play a BIG part for me especially after the very very physically active career that I carry out.
I'm not going to reel off a number of excuses..... I'm just going to set the record stright....
Hats off to those who make it to the end........ hats off to those who haven't participated due to a history of experience in establishing how committed/difficult this can be, and most of all thank you very much for the comments, support, and encouragement from all your project entries that have influenced me to take part!!

and this last picture for this entry represents it all for my pathetic effort for this 366 project.

I'm chucking in the towel...............

PROJECT DD....... CLOSED!!!!

 

[Kev Pugh]

Sad end Matey, great shot to give it mind. totally understand the pressures of family and work life, gonna miss your entries but are you sure you wanna do this..........you shouldn't feel pressured by it you should feel that inspiration to try something different and explore the unknown and less obvious. it is hard and I know that we post some lame efforts at times but all is not lost.....tomorrow is a fresh day with new daylight, new thoughts, new experiences.

My philosophy is do it and be damned.....but hey I for one know your pain........ well done and big up to you .

Well thats enough man love you WIMP.

 

[Darren Turner]

OMG i am shocked, you was doing sooooo well with the project to you have uploaded so cracking images, and i for 1 have really been enjoying your uploads.

I realise it must be hard with work & family life especially with the young girls and obviously its your decision if you struggling to find time.

I have seen some 366 who dont upload every day, they do there uploads once or twice a week, this probably makes it easier for some folks.

[Dan Cattermole]

Thank you for those words of wisdom KK!
I love doing it, I have so many (how can I put this) extremely constructed ideas in my head.... and they can't be done in a period of time thats been granted to me in 24hrs....
I'm most certainly inspired by the daily occurances, but not enough to make me really think about putting it on snesor. and that's what this project needs... spontaneous commitment, which I don't have unfortunately. I know I shouldn't feel pressured into doing this.... hang on..... listen to me here..... It's only been 24 days and it sounds like I'm leaving life for good..... HAHAHAHA!! yes KK, I am a whimp......... best go out and get a ****ing grip!!!

 

[Kev Pugh]

Sad Dayz Sad Dayz DD, you know if you continue to post what ever it is then you may find that in time you have more time to drop in that peach of a sensor catch.......

Thats it I'm throwing it in too then, if DD can't then KK can't DJ won't and MD looks like it's going TU then DU will be one of the few

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Thanks Darren!!
It is nice to know I supplied a level of enjoyment to some folk. Just [sniff] .... I just [sniff sniff] can't do this anymore!!!
To be fair Daz, its finding a pic for everyday, even if it means uploading everycouple of weeks.

All the best to the rest!!!!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

!!! I thought I was nuts KK!!!

[Battlefield moment]
Don't KK, Don't come back for me!! Jus'... Just leave me behind....save yourself!! I can't do it anymore.......
It's going d..dark..... I..I ....I .. . . . ..

 

[Kev Pugh]

WE never leave a Dan Down, never, we will carry you to the end....you didn't get a DAN DOWN for nought man, dig deep and feel the pain........once you feel it you know you can pass it..

 

[Dan Cattermole]

!!!!

 

[Kev Pugh]

You DO realise that if you DO drop out you'll be a DO...DAN OUT and that is NOT a good handle DD, not a good handle at all..

 

[adrian jordin]

Just a thought...
I am amazed at the quality of the pictures being produced on a daily basis for this...especially as I've been there and got the T-shirt with the family pressures...
Why not see it through to the end of the month and chalk up one achievement...then maybe cut it down to one a week and see if you can do that to the end of the year...

Its worth a thought, init?....

 

[Dan Cattermole]

If that's the terms and conditions KK......Dan Out its is!!!!!
But. DD does sound better than DO though doesn't it??
