A White Christmas

This Christmas past we ventured upstate to spend a few days in the Hillsdale house. It was my first time seeing Sarah and Dan’s epic home, and the first time I’d ever experienced a White Christmas. So naturally, I took an absurd amount of photos of Oliver in the snow. And not in the snow. And looking at farm animals.

More Christmas after the break. Continue reading

The Reason For The Season

title

A story of resurrection. No, not one with a bearded dude coming out of the ground for extra nights of partying, but rather a story of photographic redemption. It goes a little something like this…

It’s Saint Nick In A Box

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house…well, you know how that old crap goes. Contrary to what the jingle might suggest, on this Christ’s  un-birthday we creatures WERE stirring, As merry models stepped out from the strobes to stand behind the camera, with digital and analog blending worse than week-old eggnog, a glorious catalog of Christmas cavorting came to life.

The jury is out on this crew, but one thing is for certain, we certainly gave the Thanksgiving Post a run for its money. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!

Merry Christmas, Baby

Lauren took full creative responsibility for the decorations, while I volunteered my brawn to lug the bugger home from the deli around the corner (and of course to document the night’s festivities!) Though a different experience from my childhood’s Christmas tree lot, it was fun to see tree stands begin to bloom across New York’s busy sidewalks, and it’s awesome to come home to that glorious Christmas smell.

Ginger Bread

Last night the crew decided to bust out the year-old Ginger Bread kit and give it new life. Being a terrible baker/maker/ginger bread breaker, I took the opportunity to abstain from the process and instead document the ordeal with my new FUJI! It took some getting used to, but I think the images speak to the quality of the camera, especially when you consider each is a JPEG straight out of camera with no post. As a bonus, the team managed to crank out some gorgeous designs, but a completed house is yet to come…
