happy birthday, dear it's just how i see things. happy birthday to you!

one year ago today i started this photo blog. {essentially, it's been around since the beginning of autumn in 2008 until the end of summer in 2009—one full year.} i've enjoyed every single day of it. though it has changed so much over the past year, it has stayed true to my vision and, well... how i see things.

in the past year, i've upgraded my camera, learned a lot about photography, made several photography or blog friends and recorded many bits and pieces of my life along the way.

happy birthday to my photo blog! i hope i am still taking pictures and blogging here until my last breath. and i hope my photography, my writing, my ability to learn and my outlook on life gets better each day from now until then.

thanks to all who have been a part of my little corner of the blogosphere over the past year!

{to celebrate, i grabbed four photos from the past four seasons and reposted them in this collage. click on the image to see a larger view.}
