Santa Baby

Just because I don't have a Christmas tree in my bedroom, doesn't mean I couldn't get creative with my decorating. This year my mannequin has replaced a tree, and is serving her part at Christmas...all be it slightly provocatively. 

Santa swings through the air with the greatest of ease..

People might think that Santa's talents are limited to climbing up and down chimneys. Wrong. He is clearly an excellent trapeze artist who, inexplicably, carries a Christmas tree on his back. Probably in case of emergencies. You know, in case someone's living room is missing one. He's thoughtful like that, is our St.Nick. 

Christmas

Christmas Day is only a week away. To celebrate, as well as playing Christmas songs on repeat, I'll be posting a daily festive photo. It's my favourite time of the year, and so inevitably I'm going to combine it with my favourite hobby, photography. 

I'm in love with this first picture. The ballerina is only a recent addition to our decorations after her predecessor lost her leg in a tragic attic-to-tree accident. As I'm sure you'd agree, she's fitting in very nicely and looks beautiful in her first ever portrait. The only editing done to this picture was a slight de-saturation which gives the whole shot a more intimate feel, I think.

From Heaven

I took this a few months ago in Twickenham. Composition's not perfect and I don't think the dirty Thames adds anything positive to the shot, but I still love it. One of my favourite lucky catches.
