365/365: Stick a fork in him...

Cause I'm done. Not the most inspired shot I could have crafted, but I'm bringing this thing in for a landing with no fuel and busted landing gear, and I'm setting her down in one piece, Hell or high water.  Special thanks to my good friends Sol, Kun, and Ryan for the hand modelling, and Joe for taking this picture for me. I'd also like to thank my beautiful wife for helping me more than anyone else, all year, and understanding me when I'm being real D-Bag.

Wow, that was a measurement of a year that I haven't experienced before. I'd love to craft a nice essay on what I've learned, mistakes I've made, successes, etc. but I am exhausted from filming last night, and about to do it again tonight. I didn't quite accomplish all that I set out to this year, and I left some questions unanswered about certain recurring characters, but dammitall, I did it, and I have to tell ya, it feels good. And of course, this isn't the end by any measure. I'm done posting everyday (like I even did that), but I will be making some changes to the blog and adding some features soon enough, and there may be bound paper in my future...once the New Year is in full swing. But for now, I will rest, or rather, tomorrow.

Happy New Year to all of you, and thank you, thank you, thank you for all the support, comments, forwards, questions, yada yada. Much love, and happiness, to all of you. Please drop a quick comment if you've been following along at any point during the year.

Hey Leon. Congratulations on achieving completion. I would like to thank you . You have inspired me many times through out the last 365 days to try new techniques and to finally bite the bullet and buy a new camera so I could give timelapse a try. I look forward to see what new things you come up with for 2011. Happy New Year buddy. Your friend, John Jacobs

Yeah Leon! 2011 is going to be a hell of a year! I can't wait to see what you shoot in the next 365.

Well done Dude. I shamefully quit after about 70 days. You produced some really great stuff.

I started following you around spring time (Thanks Joe!)... talk about an accomplishment that not many can say they have done! Brilliant photos, amazing adventures, and characters with endless stories! I will continue to check in! Let us all know when the Avett video/pic are up! Happy 2011 Bro!

Just an admirable labor of dedication, refining your incredible skills, and the ONLY 365 blog I've followed which ran FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. [backpats, beers, and cheers all around!] Inspiring photography. A template for demonstrating the fruits of patience to create the final images.
