Of all the things that get pulled out of the boxes at Christmas, this is one of my favourites…..a tiny little reindeer about four inches tall. I just always appreciate its stylized simplicity.
On a blustery day we just felt like settling in with a cup of tea and a book/camera/puzzle….well…at least until I have to drag myself out to a social event later this afternoon. I always think committing to parties seems like a great idea, until they actually arrive, and then I just want to stay curled up near the fire and be asocial. I mean, I was already social last night. Two days in one week seems a bit much.
I purchased a new Lensbaby Velvet 56 lens the other week and have only just started to play with it. I already have the 28 and the 85mm versions and, with a pretty good Black Friday discount, I decided to complete the set and get the middle lens as well. As always, excellent construction and fun to use. Such a different type of lens to shoot with….soft, ephemeral feeling images with a different sort of mood that comes out of them.
