OK; its been three months since the majority of us started our PAD's.
How many people are still keeping with it; every day?
How many people have fallen behind or given it up altogether?
And the biggest question: What have you learned thus far from your PAD experience; what knowledge that you set out to gain has come to you?

I'm still at it.
Learned: One year is an awful long time, we're only 1/3 done :( |

I'm still going.
I've enjoyed it so far. Now it has become a habit to take a picture every day. Admittedly, some days are better than others, butI think it is fun to go back and look at them. I've also discovered that it is a journal fo sorts because soem pictures trigger memories of something that happened that day. |

| I'm behind a few days on my upload a picture a day, but other than that, still going strong. I do realize that I won't be doing this again, though! |

I sometimes don't have time to edit/upload a shot every day, but I'm still taking them every day! :)

| I'm two weeks behind! Until recently I've been pretty faithful to uploading every day or at least catching up if I missed a day. I'll definitely get back to it though... I'm trying not to discourage myself by missing a couple of weeks. If I think about it too negatively, then there's risk that I'll really slack off. |

Still in, but I am a couple of days behind. I have learn that one month is a very long to to stick to a theme and have all but abandoned the idea. I have to say it has been a lot of fun, but also a lot of work.

I've been checking your PAD and wondering where you were!

Wow, thanks Karen! Now you wanna know something? You've inspired me to get back at it! But I have to enter one of tomorrow night's challenges, so it will be about 2 days. Yay - DPC has once again inspired me to learn and keep at it!!
Here's a tip for anyone reading this: Karen has one of the best PaDs in the universe. |

I've gotten a bit behind in the uploading and commenting, but I'm still going!
One thing this project is teaching me is that even the most ordinary item can be made to look interesting with proper lighting and angle. Also, my PP skills have dramatically improved. Prior to the project, it would take hours to get something right -- mostly deciding what needed to be done, and then figuring out how to do it. Now I can look at shots and more immediately tell what it needs for post-processing, and I'm much quicker about getting the job done. Lastly, I used to take 15 or 20 shots before I got the one I wanted...now I'm down to 3-5 shots to realize the vision.
This whole PAD thing rocks - I can't believe how much I've improved even from just January.
Yay PAD! |

Still going... amazingly, I haven't missed a day yet! However, there are days when I get a lot of neat shots and post a few of them over the next couple days. That makes it much more manageable for me.
What have I learned? Well, like someone else said, a year is a long time. I've learned more about how to use my new camera, and how to get the shot that I want in fewer attempts (though I'd like to take even less sometimes to get it right). I've learned that I want more "stuff" (lenses, filters, tripod etc.) I've learned that not every entry has to be a ribbon winning DPC entry (though one of those would be nice), and that shots that do horribly here in challenges often appeal to someone, especially out of the context of a challenge theme.
I think one of the neatest parts of the PaD is that it isn't just ME learning, but friends and family have been asking me how I did certain shots, and I've been able to teach them a little bit about photography. For me, it's neat to see other people who hardly know how to use a digital camera get excited about photography.
Keep up the great work everyone! :) |

| I'm still going most days. Haven't felt like commenting on images so I didn't leave any, but I've been looking at some of them at least. |
