New Beginnings: Happy New Year!
It's 2007! A new day, a new year. Lots to look forward to. And it's DP Theme Day and the theme is 'The Best Picture of 2006.' It was a tough decision. I asked friends to give me their favourites. I also had my own list of about 50+ pictures. This picture of my cousin Rena's wedding wasn't even in the running (originally posted June 25). However, as I was narrowing down my choices, I thought I'd look through the entire KLDP archive to see if I missed any. Then this smiled at me and immediately I knew this was the perfect shot to introduce the new year.
Rena and Hadi on their wedding day. A day of new beginnings. Cheesy and clichéd I know but I'm looking forward to 2007. It's going to be a busy year and it'll completely exhaust me but I'm hoping to end the year with a big cheesy smile on my face.
Here are the other DP cities and their choices of the best memories last year offered.
1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 -8 -9 -10 -11 -12 -13 -14 -15 -16 -17 -18 -19 -20 -21 -22 -23 -24 -25 -26 -27 -28 -29 -30 -31 -32 -33 -34 -35 -36 -37 -38 -39 -40 -41 -42 -43 -44 -45 -46 -47 -48 -49 -50 -51 -52
It's gonna be great. I can feel it in my aching bones. Let's have laughs and fun and a s**t-load of memories and stories to tell. There'll be some crying I'm sure but that's part of the process, innit? Take it away maestro! Selamat Tahun Baru!

Your cousin's smile will start 2007 off on a very positive note for all of your reader. Please tell her thank you ... I found the best part of this theme day was reviewing all of my photos posted in 2006. The memories were great. The chance to share them is even better.
Happy New Year and look forward to many great shots in 2007. Great choice of photo, too; she looks absolutely wonderful!
I remember that beautiful smile, the lovely tiara and the tradition about her fingers :-)
healthy 2007 to you Ed!
HAPPY NEW YEAR DWEEN!!!
Lets Du-it!! Selamat Tahun Baru!
Selamat Tahun Baru 2007 Edwin!
Your cousin's smile definitely deserves the best photo of the year.
Lovely photo and I like your reason for choosing it!
Happy New Year from Albuquerque Daily Photo!
Happy New Year, Edwin.
Very good start for 2007 already, wonderful smile.
its a wonderful photo Edwin. I like your theater scene because you posted about a lot of people. I am looking forward to see your wonderful city and its people trhough your lens in 2007, too.
Real joy there, thanks for choosing it. Happy new year from London
A smily greeting for the 2007!! Enjoy this year, the best for you!
Hi Edwin. Have agreat , healthy, happy 2007. Maybe we can meet up in Sydney?
tres beau portrait, ou il y a du bonheur et de la joie.
very beautiful portrait, or there are happiness and joy.
Hi Ed! I know you're closer to Jan 2nd than 1/1, but what the heck? Half the day always disappears getting over the night before on New Year's Day. Thanks for your greetings chez moi.
Now, re the pic of Rena & Hadi, you know what? After all those 2006 shots, I honestly feel you hit the perfect note with this one. It is such a great shot. And Rena's green - somehow that is THE colour of the season here. It's in sweaters & cardigans all over the place!
You're aiming high. Take off & fly! But make sure your parachute's in place, just in case (all rhymes entirely fortuitous & not intended).
Definitely one of your best, Ed and also a favourite of mine ..so, win-win !
Cheers to 2007!
Nice choice Edwin (I though the towers would be part of your first post of the new year). I hope 2007 will be full of smiles. Happy new year and I look forward to seeing more of your wonderful shots.
Full of hope, beauty, joy and love, and that's a great new year's intention!
Happy New Year, Edwin!
Happy New Year from Buenos Aires daily :)
That is so nicely done, Edwin. Thank you for this visual to start off my new year.
Happy Day and days-to-come to you, too. Annie
Happy New Year everyone! Thanks so much for popping by and I'm very happy I chose this shot. It says so much about beginnings and happiness. A mindset I need to be in. It'll be a tough year but like I said, a challenge that will eventually put a smile on my face.
Move forward and enjoy!
The endings can be bittersweet as well as nostalgic, and the beginnings can be a bit scary yet challenging. This beautiful woman obviously looked forward to her new beginnings with a life partner. Love the smile; it lights up the photo!
Ah, a personal choice. . .I was wondering what I might see and how you would narrow down to one out of all your wonderful shots this year. I aspire to be you when I grow up as a photographer :^) Your cousin and her husband's smiles are a great way to usher us into the New Year. Wishing you a lovely new year with lots of moments for reflection and rest and fun, Edwin.

Happy New Year! A cheery welcome to the new year. I like her choice of green for her outfit.
The perfect shot to start off a brand new year. Your cousin looks radiant!
Happy 2007
Beautiful choice! I've really enjoyed your work, and look forward to more exceptional photos from you in 2007!
Happy New Year from Minneapolis!
Oh, I love this shot - what a fresh, joyful scene! Happy New Year - here's to more wonderful photos and more new friends in 2007.
Exellent choice. She is so beautiful and looks so happy. What a wonderful way to welcome a new year, with that beaming, hopeful visage.
My neighbour in my hometown, her name's also Rena!
I think of the whole road closed to traffic and a kenduri the whole day!
