Komical Kevs project 366

[Lesley Jones]

Kev,

I haven't been here long and don't get much time to follow the threads, but I have found your work an inspiration. I do hope I'm wrong in that you seem to be hanging up your camera for a while. Please don't do it. I did the same about 20 years ago and my cameras sat in the cupboard gathering dust for the best part of ten years. It was very hard to take it up again and in fact, I had several false starts.

I know you are going through a rough patch. We're all different of course, but my photography has kept me going through some bad times. When I lost my Mum four years ago, I threw myself into the digital camera. When I lost my soul mate (Wiggy cat) nearly three years ago, I took myself off to London within a week or two. Even now, I struggle being the only one left from the family. I never knew my grandparents, both my parents are dead, I have no siblings and no children either. Photography is often a comfort through hard times.

Perhaps the 366 thing wasn't good for you in the end as it became a chore rather than a pleasure. To be honest, I see this type of thing on Flickr and I wonder if it doesn't do more harm than good. Have a break by all means, but please don't give up on your hobby

What can I add Kev? A break is probably a good idea when something becomes a chore rather than a pleasure. But I'm pretty sure your eye will keep capturing images and one day you'll feel like committing them to film / sensor again. I'm certainly looking forward to that and I've enjoying seeing the world through your eyes. Thanks Kev.

You've posted some great pictures in this project, Kev, and your dedication to it has been an inspiration to me, too. I'm looking forward to seeing your future posts, whenever they may be.

Thanks to you each for your comments, Lesley I'm not hanging them up just being a little more reflective about what I want out of my photography, the break I need is not only from this but from other aspects of my life too as it has all become a little stale and samey and needs an injection of something; what, I've yet to find but find it I shall...

Well my 366 is over, not because I couldn't do it, but because sometimes there are more important things than taking pictures, I feel I have lost my way, taking pictures just to fill the day rather than looking for the picture has become a non incentive, losing my Boo this week probably cemented that thought.

What I wanted out of this was different to what I ended up doing, perhaps I'm not cut out for it but hey ho I gave it a go......and to be honest i really don't give a sh..

I have decided that I should maybe take the batteries out and take time out, maybe move on and seek other enlightenments, time will be the teller of that tale, I would however like to say a big thank you to those who have followed me up to this time, Cheers guys you have been great

I shall post from time to time as and when but for now ten - ten till we do it again...

Well it was a brilliant effort mate!
And as i said earlier I completely get why your stopping and that was without hearing about your dog :/
