The Thing with Project 365

If you follow my Flickr at all, you've probably realized that I am no longer participating in Project 365 at this point. I just wasn't getting what I wanted out of the project; I was getting very little feedback on my pictures, they were getting worse instead of better, and I was slowly finding myself caring less and less about getting a good picture. I'd comment 30 people and not even get a single view on my shots, which made me bitter, and isn't what I want photography to be about anyway. So yeah, that's why I stopped doing Project 365.

I also started a new job today that is making me work five days a week instead of four, and with the total upheaval of my life, it just wasn't conducive to continue. I will try again later. Maybe this summer....maybe.

We've been going to the zoo rather often, and I've been taking a lot of pictures...some I love, some not so much.

I took some of my kids on the carousel at the zoo, which was originally built in 1914. I know this, because they repeat it before and after every ride. I played with PSE, because I wanted an older feel to them, to go along with the old carousel, but I think I like the originals better.

Our last trip to the zoo was an all day event, because it was the last weekday I would be home with the kiddos, so we were all exhausted when we left.

I love the koala's.

The elephants are pretty cool too.
