It’s that time of the year again. A time full of hope, full of good intentions. With it come pictures and images of cozy places, warm food and easy drinks.
As well as a few kilograms for the good intentions to take care of in the new year. Let’s see if those impressions or feelings are translatable into images…
Sometimes I’m wondering why I don’t shoot so much in the night in summertime. I guess that that’s because the nights are shorter. Perhaps because there are mosquitoes. I really don’t know.
What I do know, is that when I go out in winter time, I do have a lot of fun. Shooting downtown Winnipeg during the night can be a scary business, for the faint of heart. I don’t mind, but it’s more fun with fellow photographers.
Christmas is still some time away. Some organizations already have Christmas parties, though. So when the Manitoba Foto Friends had a party, I was happy to be there.
But what do you imagine of a Canadian Christmas Party? Anything, as long as it’s cold, white and colder?
The last few months, I seem to have had strange coincidences. Whenever there was something going on on the sun, I seemed to end up with a headache.
Strong enough to put me to bed before even the Northern Lights showed up. This time, however, it was different, so the Aurora=Headache idea doesn’t stand anymore.
Every year, Santa Claus makes his arrival in the city with a big parade. Not only does he show up himself, all the businesses in the city also show off what they can.
The result is a big parade, with floats, one bigger than the other and a small Santa difficult to find. Even more if you are freezing cold and waiting with a camera held above your head
