Journey Around the Sun - Starting the Journey

I made a decision to start a Project 365.
A year on earth is measured by one complete orbit around the sun. So I'm calling my year of photos a 'Journey Around the Sun'.
Some may believe I'm starting 6 months too late, but there's no better time to start something than now. The experience is the same no matter when the journey starts or finishes.

“The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.” -  Don Williams, Jr.

Day One
“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” - Lao Tzu

I began this journey with photography because I wanted to capture fleeting moments in our life. My son was my inspiration. So I'm taking my first step with a portrait of Tom.

If you're new to my blog check out my Month in Macro, where I took a macro shot every day for the month of June. They are all taken with a 50mm 1.8 together with an extension tube EF 25 II.

I think I'll need some encouragement so I'm going to link up with Project 365 on Click it up a Notch.
