Casualties

Maynard, MA – Two of the casualties when our tree fell over this morning. The loss of the little guy on the right is a particular tragedy: he’s a rare Christopher Radko, “The Detective” (we called him the “grumpy shopper”). He was a gift from my wife many years ago, was dropped about 8 years ago and after a laborious search, I had replaced him. So sad that he is gone.
The robot (yesterday’s post) miraculously survived.
Portrait of a Robot
EXPOSURE INFO: Canon Powershot G10, 1/5th sec @ f/3.5, ISO 400, macro mode, 8×10″ white card camera-right reflecting Christmas tree light back onto ornament
My wife gave me this terrific ornament for Christmas yesterday – it perfectly represents the combination of whimsy, wonder and nostalgia that the holiday brings out in us.
09.12.27 UPDATE: We were awoken at 6:45 this morning by the sound of our Christmas tree toppling over. Many cherished ornaments lost. Some miraculously survived, including the robot. Cleanup was a grim task. Tree expelled from house.
Merry Christmas!

Studio Portrait: The Brothers
Some photographers blanch at the idea of making portraits of children and yes, sometimes you get subjects that simply arrive underfed, under-rested and completely out-of-sorts. But it’s all worth it when the opportunity to make images like these presents itself.
