With December almost upon us, I would like to take this moment to wish everyone a very happy holiday season, and the very best for the new year!

(shot with the lensbaby G3 with the star shaped creative aperture disk installed)

Going back through my catalog of photos, for the second last day of ‘national blog posting month’.

Love this shot as a high contrast black & white, the colour version is posted on my old blog here.

Also love this one in bw, but it’s also great in colour.

Macro shot to show the amazing sharpness of the lens…look at the detail in the left eye.

Here’s a funny lensbaby shot with the wide angle attached.

Another lensbaby with the wide angle attached. I haven’t quite got the focus nailed in this one, but I still like it a lot (even with the super serious face!).

Two shots from back in August.

Halloween continues! My son, dressed-up for an outing earlier this month, a few days after halloween. Reminds me of some crazy movie where bank robbers dressed up to rob a bank…but I can’t think of which movie it was.

Some photos from a few weekends ago…before, during and after haircuts.

Before:

During:

After, and happy, happy, happy with our new haircut!

In light of Christmas Day arriving in just a months time, a few seasonal photos. All are lensbaby shots.

My son, in his santa hat, a few weekends ago:

If you live in Southern Ontario you know we had our first snow storm last week. My daughter, on our deck, snow all around:

And, as this window (with the star shaped aperture disk installed) says: HO HO HO! (only a month to go!!!)

The day was spent baking Christmas cookies…. While mixing up the cookie dough, for two different types of cookies, the kids decided it was also the day to put up the Christmas tree, so that is the out-of-focus lights you see in the background. All shots, except the last one, were taken with my 85mm f1.8, wide open.

At one point we had a bit of a spill with the decorative sprinkles:

From a recent headshot shoot, he needed comp cards for possible modeling work.

Another Lensbaby shot with the heart aperture disk installed. We were out and about on Yonge Street when I saw the holiday lights outside a shop.
