Description This is was taken on August 28th. The text was written on September 20th. This is day 256 of 365, and it was the last. The following text will explain.
You don't need to read it, but if you've been following me, it's written for you too.



No matter how many times that you told me you wanted to leave
No matter how many breaths that you took you still couldn’t breathe
No matter how many nights did you lie wide awake to the sound of the pausing rain
Where did you go? where did you go? where did you go?
Tell me would you kill to save your life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you’re right?
Crash, crash, burn let it all burn
This hurricane’s chasing us all underground

Heart beat, a heart beat, i need a heart beat, a heart beat..

You say you wrong, you wrong, I’m right, I’m right, you’re wrong, we fight
Ok, I’m running from the light, running from the day to night
Oh, the quiet silence defines our misery
The riot inside keeps trying to visit me
No matter how we try, it’s too much history
Too many bad notes playing in our symphony
So let it breathe, let it fly, let it go
Let it fall, let it crash, burn slow
And then you call upon God
ohhh, You call upon God

(The promises we made were not enough,
The prayers that we prayed were like a drug,
The secrets that we sold were never known,
The love we had, the love we had,
we had to let it go.)
30 Seconds To Mars ft. Kanye West - Hurricane

Dear sweet people of Flickr DeviantART,

With this photo I announce the end of my (failed) 365 project.

This was a journey I’ll never forget. I taught me so much, more than I could’ve imagined before I started this.
Ending it wasn’t really a conscious choice; I was less motivated when we got back from Poland anyway, but when Daniel and I broke up (August 14) I didn’t want to have to face my feelings, let alone capture them and put them on flickr. Photography works as a therapy, and it works like that for me too, but this time I dealt with my feelings by keeping busy… probably an easier way out, but a bit weak too.
There are 20 days between this photo and the previous one, 20 days I didn’t dare touch my camera.
It was a wonderful feeling this day, that I did pick it up, and stood in the rain. I will go on, but this project is done now.

I will not quit photography. Hopefully, I’ll never quit photography.
I take it much more seriously than I did before this project, and I believe in it so much more too.

For everyone who’s doing a 365 project, or who’s thinking of doing it. Please do. Please keep up.
It is so worth it. I may not have finished it, but I got far, and I regret nothing. The best teacher is experience, and picking up and using your camera everyday is experience. You learn so much, you get to know your camera, you get to know light, the time of day, seasons, places and also yourself.

I want to thank all of you, for being on this journey with me, for following my project and giving me feedback. I may have quit long before this if it weren’t for the sweet words you sent me.
So many of you out there inspire me, and I’m grateful for that.
And for the ones I inspired… I have no words, it’s such an honor to fulfill a role like that.
Thank you so much for supporting me, in basically everything I’ve gone through these past (nearly) 300 days. I hope you’ll stay with me.

Keep getting inspired, keep imagining, keep inspiring others.

Love,
Noukka

P.S. You've all been sweet to me, also about the break-up.
Don't worry, I'm okay I'm pretty busy anyway, but I'm also dealing with it.
I'm fine

-----------------------------------------------------------------

October 1st: Daniel and I got back together
I'm not picking my 365 back up, but I am enrolled in a photography course trying to get inspiration.

I only found your gallery the day I created this account (I've had others) and your photography is so inspiring and you can see where you have grown. I love your artist comments - I never know what to put in mine and the few deviations I have uploaded on this account, I have't explained. I found it hard to - they explain what inspired you and the difficulties and frustrations of people asking what you're doing and losing your light.

I'm thinking of doing a 365 project but I don't know when to start it. Is it easier to start at the start of a month? Or a year?

Thank you so much.
I don't always know what to put there, but with my 365 it was often a bit about my day, or how I got the idea or the photo :]

I started on November 1st, but I do believe it's the hardest time to start, (at least here) the days are getting shorter and shorter and a lot of rain and grey skies, not very photogenic...but then again, if you start around this time, you've had the worst
Good luck if you start one, it's an amazing experience!

Well I live in the Highlands of Scotland, so we only get a couple of days of good weather scattered in June, July and August.

Thanks for the advice!

this photo is really beautiful and emotional again, my dear
but it is even more special with your written lines. they tell a story. your story. it's not the happiest one, but that's life. you were incredibly honest and open to us. and the photograph matches perfectly to that mood!
I am really very proud of you. 365 or not. the most important is, that you will never give up. If it's photography or life. you are always so inspiring and you also seem to ve strong and I love you for that!
You really got far and maybe many others would have failed before this! I am sure you will never leave photography, just that project. Just keep it up and stay true!
I wish you just the best for you and your future! You will make it. I know that.
