Announcing Clouds 365 Project – YEAR 3!

A week from today, I will complete Year 2 of the Clouds 365 Project. 730 days of photographing clouds everyday! I have the champagne ready! I love this project more now than when I started it in July of 2009. I wake up wanting to do this, wanting to share my passion with you, to always improve and learn. So, this was a easy decision. It is my pleasure to announce that I am going to continue photographing clouds everyday for another 365 days! - Clouds 365 Project – Year 3
When I started this project almost 2 years ago, I dedicated the Clouds 365 Project to Art, Learning, Determination, Process, Pattern and Obsession. I have been following these guidelines and really understand them. To find out more, please visit the about section. Year 2 was incredible, I have learned so much and many of my personal goals were reached. I feel I am a better photographer now, technically and creatively. I am developing my own style. I am much better at identifying clouds and understanding weather pattens. I could go on and on. I could not walk away from this if I tried!
This year, there were over 2 million visit the Clouds 365 Project sites. That is just amazing! It is so exciting, interacting with you on a daily basis. Over the years, I have met some truly wonderful people from all over the world. The support and the feedback you give me everyday, without fail, is amazing. I can’t thank you enough. You always make me be my best every day!
Year 2 of Clouds 365 Project will end a week from today. We’ll celebrate it together for a day, but then I turn around and start YEAR 3 on July 1st!
Thanks to my girls for their help though this year and constant encouragement. Special thanks to my wife Stephanie for telling me to keep at it, always giving me a second eye and always sharing her years of photography experience with me. Also, I would like to thank to my friends Laurie, Misty, Justin, Jason and Nicco for your help and being there for me and thanks to our friends and neighbors for putting up with me on the roof and leaving dinners and parties early
I will be launching a new site for Year 3 with some new features I hope you will enjoy. Watch for more information in the coming days on future plans for the Clouds 365 project. I’ll also be sharing some insights from the past 2 years as I look back at what I have learned so far.
Thanks again to all of you cloud lovers. See you for another year!

Announcing Clouds 365 Project – YEAR 2!

After much discussion with my friends and family, it is my pleasure to announce that I am going to continue photographing clouds everyday for another 365 days! - Clouds 365 Project – Year 2
What an amazing journey. Honestly, I could not walk away from this if I tried! When I started this project almost a year ago, I dedicated the Clouds 365 project to Art, Learning, Determination, Process, Pattern and Obsession. (Check out the About page to learn more.) In year 2, the project is also dedicated to Community—because I could not have done this without YOU. Over the year, I have met some wonderful people from all over the world. The support and the feedback you give me everyday, without fail, is humbling. I can’t thank you enough. You made me be my best every day!
Year 1 of Clouds 365 Project will end a week from today. We’ll celebrate it together for a day, but then I turn around and start YEAR 2 on July 1st!
The future is very bright for the Clouds 365 Community as well. In honor of the important role all of you play in the project, we will launch a new Community site soon—a site that will helps us grow. You will be able to edit your own profile, password, images, etc. The site will include groups, internal communication and tutorials so we can get to know one another better while we expand our knowledge of clouds and how to document them.
Special thanks to my wife Stephanie and my girls for their help though this year and encouragement to continue this wonderful project. Thanks to my friends Manny, Misty, Justin, Nicco and Laurie. You are always there for me
Watch for more information in the coming days on future plans for the Clouds 365 project. I’ll also be sharing some insights from the past year as I look back at what I have learned so far.
