I hope all of you are ready to get 2014 started. The first day here at my house was filled with more food and family. It’s a tradition here to spend New Years Day with the family as we do on Christmas day. During my gluttonous period this past week I had the brilliant (not really) idea to try out this 365 day photo thing. Now, I’m sure I won’t last long because life tends to get in the way and my new job keeps me busy during funny hours so I’m not always in the mood to photograph. That said I will try to get myself going this year by attempting different photographic things. Of course, I almost forgot to start it today but at the last minute I plopped myself in front of the Christmas tree.

So I tried to be creative and try some different things like bokeh and interesting macro shots. One of the favourites was my selfie reflection in one of the Christmas ornaments which I posted in my Flickr site a well.

And there is my day one shot, just under the wire.
