So we had a Karaoke party last night with our friends from church. Lots of yummy food, delicious drinks, bad singing, and good times. It also happened to be our 31st wedding anniversary, so it was fun to celebrate with friends.

I am very happy and relieved to say that this entry completes my PaD for 2008. Some days it was a real challenge to find the time to take pictures (and I will admit I cheated a little). There are several that I am not happy with because of either the lack of creativity or good technique, but there are also many shots I think are pretty darn good.

I definitely learned a lot about photography in the last year. And I know that I have much more to learn. My pBase friends have become very important to me, and I would love to meet some of you in real life.

I'm going to relax my "rules" about PaD in 2009, to relieve a little self-imposed stress. I know the best way to become a better photographer is to take more pictures, so hopefully I will keep it up.

Happy New Year to all of you on pBase! I look forward to another year of enjoying your wonderful photos.
