Season’s Greetings

Tis that time of year again.  The snow is falling, the festivities are gearing up if not in full swing already, and the Christmas carols are heard almost everywhere.

Here’s to wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday season whether you celebrate Christmas or not, it’s still a special time of year.

May your holidays be joyous and your New Year prosperous!”

 

 

Until next time…

Season’s Greetings

A small but awesome perk of being an artist and photographer is the infinite creative possibility when it comes to cards.  Business cards, post cards, greeting cards, and especially around this time of year, Christmas cards.

Every year, I design and print my own Christmas cards with my photography.  I suppose I could use those online services where you upload a photo and pay them to print the cards for you, but that would take a lot of the fun out of it for me, and for those that have come to enjoy my cards.

This year, I dug into my photographic archives for the image I used as I didn’t have any current “Christmas-y” or winter photographs (we had an extremely mild winter with very little snow last year).  But, after some searching, I was successful.

Since I’m unable to send a card to all of you who follow my blog, I’ll make due by offering you a digital version in this week’s blog.  Huzzah!

Merry Christmas, folks!  Have a safe and happy holiday!

LL Bean Tree Lighting Ceremony

HOLY HIATUS, BATMAN!

Two months. Two whole, freakin’ months since I last updated.
Heh….woops!
Me: “I guess I just haven’t been in the updating mode lately.”
You: “That’s no excuse!”
Me: “Yeah, yeah, I hear you.”
You: “Don’t ‘yeah, yeah’ me!”
Me: “I’m sorry! I’ll try to do better! I really will!”
Honestly, I really will try to do better.
But anyway, this past Friday, I headed down to Freeport for the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony that LL Bean holds every year.
Although none of them came out to my liking, I took quite a few pictures. I decided to include the least worst of the bunch here.

Camera: Sony HX1, Focal Length: 11mm, F-Stop: 3.5, Shutter Speed: 1/8, ISO: 400

Camera: Sony HX1, Focal Length: 16mm, F-Stop: 4, Shutter Speed: 1/10, ISO: 1000

Now, it was cold that night and stupid me, I didn’t have a tripod, or even my monopod. Yes, I know, I fail. So the blurriness of these, especially the first one, is due to camera shake. Or should I say, me shaking. Again, no excuse, I know better, but it’s all said and done now. Woops.  I do apologize though.

Anyway, I think that’s all I have to say for now.

Per usual…

Keep on rockin’ on.
