For nearly nine months I have selected and written about an existing image of mine on a weekly basis. For me it’s been fun reminiscing on both old and new images. I never knew until Monday morning (sometimes Tuesday depending on my Sundays!) what would inspire me in my selection and writing. I did though want to make it interesting and inspirational to the viewer.
From the comments the images and stories invoked both in the Facebook and the arruza.com/blog postings I believe PoW was fairly successful and some, possibly, even looked forward to them. To the followers I thank you. Photography is a personal endeavor and when others take the time to critique it, either good or bad, it humbles me.
This is my final PoW post and I appropriately chose this image because tomorrow my son and I take off on a snowboarding trip. We’ll be back after the New Years (a happy one to all BTW) and for 2011 I will continue a weekly posting though its premise will be completely different and a lot more challenging for me. Hopefully I will persevere and you will find it compelling. Until then make life an adventure, it’s your only chance!
