William Eggleston photography maybe unusual and you look at it and say to yourself why? But I quite like it his photographs maybe weird, it captures your eye to what you see everyday but don’t notice. Eggleston is known for his colour photography. These images helped Eggleston as one of the first non-commercial photographers working in colour and encouraged a new group of photographers. Eggleston wanted to show beauty in the world around him by capturing the things he did showed us that you can get a beautiful picture from anything lying about the streets.

New Years Eve is the time at which a new calander year begins and the count down for a new year is celebrated. Many people go to pubs, clubs, parties to celebrate this time of the year. In the irish language New years eve is “Oíche Chinn Bliana”. People mark the occasion by cleaning their homes, stocking up on supplies and holding parties.

Many people go to dinners, parties or galas in private homes, pubs or hotels in the late afternoon or early evening. Many of these events feature some kind of countdown to midnight and the New Year. At the stroke of midnight, there may be fireworks, short parades or performances by traditional musicians. Many parties then continue into the early hours of January 1.

Other traditions of the season include the making of New Year’s resolutions. Popular modern resolutions might include the promise to lose weight or quit smoking. Most people suggest a new year is a new me but many don’t last.  One of the most venerable New Years traditions is the champaign toast at midnight to ring in the new year.
