It's great that the group is still evolving and growing so it looks like we might have a future next year too. Here are a sampling of photos from some of our more recent members. Please make them feel welcome.

Congrats to Tiago Ribeiro!

It's been a fantastic year in photos for Tiago Ribeiro and today he finished his 365. It has included some great series including phobias and addictions/bad habits.

He shares his thoughts on his final photo:

"So in the end, Project365 turned from being a self-centered project to being about the People that surround me and make my life as interesting as it is. I ended up photographing over 70 different people including friends, relatives and strangers. Remarkably, I also ended up documenting the most eventful year of my life, where lots of important changes happened!"

Read more here. Featured below is his final photo, one of his favourites and an admin pick, not to forget the slideshow of the entire year!

POTW 5th - 11th July 2009

Another great week, dCap froze his camera, j/f/photos played with a racoon and ĦŁκâLϊЛ℮ /\/\öǙşЄ wrapped herself in tape! If you've not stopped by the group lately, we have a new technical challenge as well as lots of stuff going on so remember to check in.

Congrats to Joel!

Joel finished up his 365 earlier this week. A big congratulations go out to him from all of us. And he also has some other big news. A little one on the way. YAY. So some more congrats to Joel & his wife Cynthia. Look forward to seeing some of those baby pics :)

Featured below are his fav from his 365 project, his last photo and one of the admin's pics. Again very hard to choose.

For some reason I wasn't able to feature his first photo or the slideshow here (probably due to different settings).. but you can click the link below to see his whole project. Lots of fabulous shots.. and he really mastered the art of b&w ;)

edit by pwb: a bit of jiggery-pokery and we have lift off...

Just a handful for today...

Congrats to thezanyone!

This morning thezanyone posted her final 365 photo (hopefully not her last photo ever though). Her project has been full of colourful and quirky images. Due to technical issues I can't post her first but there is a slideshow of her project to view and her final shot below.

Congrats to Mark Robson!

We have decided to feature a special posting for everyone in the group, once they finish up. Like a little party :) Since a couple folks already finished, we are going to play a little catch up this week.

A big congrats to Mark Robson! He finished his project on June 20th. Yay. Below are we have featured his favorite from his 365, day one, an admin's pic (was hard to pic just one!) & his last day 365. Such a sweet pic of his new pup Angel & his wife Heather. Congrats again. Woo hoo.

You can also check out his whole project with the link below.;)

It's Wednesday...

...So that means it's time for Wednesday Contact Showcase. Why am I mentioned this on our blog? Well, it's a great group that lets you post a mosaic in celebration of one of your favourite contacts. It makes people feel good inside. Honest! So why not pick a fellow group member whose photos inspire you, or even just make you chuckle, and join in? If you've not got time today, the love occurs EVERY Wednesday so think ahead.

My showcase was for kellinasf this week but here are some more of my favourites from the group pool.

POTW 28th June - 4th July 2009

Each week, the group admin choose three Photos of the Week from the pool. We try and choose a variety of subjects and styles and make sure different people get a turn. We do need YOU to help nominate photos you think are fantastic too as we can easily miss a great shot. Check out the group discussions to find where to nominate.

Fire & Water

Dani_Girl chose last week's theme of Water Play which I think we needed to combat all those fireworks from Independence Day celebrations! Remember to visit the group to check out the new weekly theme (now chosen by group members) and to see what else is in the works.
