Day 647 of 365 More.
Wow…
So, I say all the time that I never expected 365 to really take off the way it did. I would really have been happy if there were 20 people in the group on my first day, but now every time I look at the stats and see it’s over 8500 people all over the world, I am astounded.
The group has gotten so big and so amazing that a month ago, my mother decided to organize the members to pay tribute to me and my awesomeness.
Wow.
So I kind of expect my mother and Steph to do stuff like this, because for some crazy reason, they claim to actually love me. I even expect it of Jameel since he’s spent the better part of his adult life, laying in bed at night and dreaming that he might one day be the Maverick. I’m happy they participated, but its no surprise.
The real surprise is the other 130-odd people who have also copycatted one of my photos in the last 24 hours.
I’m sorry I can’t go through and comment on each and every one of you (just flipping through the pool and working on this pic ate up my whole night and kept me from working on the next episode of Cosmic Hellcats which I had planned on working on tonight (and if you aren’t reading my webcomic, shame on you. Go check it out now! End cheap plug…), but let me just say that viewing the whole thing really made my day. So thank you to all who participated.
When I first heard about this, my immediate thought was "hmm, I wonder how many catholic school girl pics there are going to be today?" I kinda guessed that there might be one from like_shipwrecks and I was was so sure that PhotoKat would do one, that I would have bet my life on it. But the entries from er3465, evaxebra and gaymay were nice surprises. And it was great going through the pool and seeing other people’s takes on all my other ideas.
So thank you to everyone who participated and feel free to make it a yearly occurrence. Maybe next year we’ll all get off work. 🙂
oh my god i love this.. hehe. i thought Nicole would do one too.. hehe
i did a nude of yours. and i hope i did it SOME justice..
good on you! x
Awesome! Thanks for the coolest project evah! Dude… love your mom! She is so cool!
Hehe! Thank YOU Mav. You’re the great leader of a great project!
You really started a huge phenomenon! Congrats!
lol I almost schoolgirled it too….then I decided I think of you more as thug pose you. so there you go.
Hahahaha, I love the collection of school girls. I decided to tarot card it myself because I fricken love that project of yours.
oh! and if all of flickr lived in one spot? You could lead a schoolgirl army. that would be rad.
I second this and offer to enlist. 😛
Again Mav, thanks for creating this great little group.
You may not have had the original idea for taking a self portrait every day (i’m sure that idea has been around much longer than Flickr), but you took that idea and made a community out of it.
And for that you deserve all the credit and yeah, you’re own Founder’s Day! Congrats!
Awwwww look at you and your harem! This whole thing was loads of fun! Love Ya Son!
So, for some reason, I didn’t get a flickrmailed invite, and was completely uninformed about this group. I took my photo and posted it and then James came home and told me about Mav day. And since you participated in MY special day, I felt terribly bad that I didn’t get to play.
I’m sorry. I’m glad so many other people joined in!
I love this photo..it is very cool. You are very creative..in fact looking at your photostream..i have to say that your tarot card photos are very awesome. 🙂 Thank you for creating a group that has helped me to become more creative and given me a new outlook on my life. 😀
Thank you so much for giving me a creative outlet when I would otherwise be sitting on my ass and doing nothing. It’s been so much fun and I have met some really awesome people, some in person!!
Keep on Rockin!
Thanks for creating a group that has added more to my life than I had ever intended. It has been an awesome challenge…It’s a creative outlet…I’m breaking through personal comfort zones…and making wonderful friends. Bravo to you for opening the door to all that and more to so many people! Thank you.
Dude. I’m sorry I was too wiped to play along with this. I wish I’d had a little more time to prepare and of course the catholic schoolgirl shot was gonna be it for me. *sigh*
you still totally win. And I’ll have to do that show for you sometime anyways (when I have a chance to do it right 🙂
Ha! I made it into the "weird side" of the harum. Sweet.
i would want to stay away from those on the right too lol
Hah! This is too rad. Sorry I didn’t get back to you yesterday, I passed out like an hour after I posted that and I’ve just woken up. Anyway, I’m glad you did it!
OMG – THIS picture totally rocks! LOLOL!!! I think that your original of the schoolgirl pic was THE funniest, and soooo super creative!!!!
Thank you for sharing your creativity with us – and thanks for this terrifying ride called "365 Days!"
🙂
(damn – I just couldn’t find my knee socks for the schoolgirl pic……LOL!)

nice.
you are a lucky man
*runs off to Stripper Depot for naughty school girl outfit*
This is awesome, I knew you would do something cool. ANd I’m glad I didn’t let you down, or you could have like, DIED! 😉 But, anything for you babe, you are our founding father. SO like, does that make you my "daddy"??? 🙂
Thanks for the 365 – otherwise I might keep my damn clothes on all day.
Congrats again and Thanks!!!
alright, I took on the damn challenge after you said "It was the thought the counts" when I did not recreate this.

hehe cheers 🙂 Happy Founder’s Day 😉
Awesomeness abounds!
wow, 8500 in that one group … plus there are other groups doing it too now, I’m in a 366 group – lovin’ it!
My only fear … how do we stop?
thanks for sparking the idea off, some days I get an idea and just can’t wait to shoot it, others I crap out with a snap shot, I’ve found the effort I put in has been enormously helpful to my shooting and style. And of course we get to make virtual budies and comment on others stuff.
Funniest still is the fact that very few people would understand ‘why’ … or that there simply isn’t a why – its just for the fun of it.
cheers.dCap
