Taken on an impromptu visit to Sheffield Christmas market, this was a lovely chilled and relaxed shoot with my favourite model Jade
Wonderful produce, all handpicked in the wee hours of the morning at a local farm before brought to a farmers' market - Yum!

owner of Denton Camera Exchange, checking out a Rollei TLR I borrowed from a buddy. Great store run by a great guy. Someone recently did a mini-documentary about him that made the rounds on some photoblogs. vimeo.com/118888481
Celebrating Christmas in Downtown Baker City Oregon
Enjoying the holiday festivities in downtown Baker City including the COVID modified CASA Classic Christmas Gingerbread Tour of Homes. Lots of amazing gingerbread recreations of some of Baker City’s most iconic homes and buildings on display in downtown storefront windows for the month of December. And, there’s a ginger bread man scavenger hunt as well.
Baker City, Oregon’s historic downtown is one of the largest and most intact turn of the 20th century downtowns in the Northwest and is surrounded by historic neighborhoods. The downtown has been beautifully restored and revitalized over the years and is a vibrant and bustling district with lots of small locally owned shop. Throughout the year, and especially during the holiday season, the downtown hosts a number of festive celebrations and is simply a perfect backdrop for celebrating Christmas on Main Street

Today is "Small Business Saturday" here in the U.S. where the idea is for everyone who is out and about doing their holiday shopping to buy at least one thing from a smaller independent shop, a one-of-a-kind mom-and-pop type place instead of those big chain stores. Luckily, they have lots of great selections where I live and I prefer to shop at these stores anyways but I hope others do the same... it does wonders for folks trying to make a go of their dream during these difficult economic times. This photo is a window display at one of my favorite shops (I fell in love with the colors).
Yesterday I decided to boycott Black Friday (the insane shopping day in the U.S.) and opted for a bit of pampering and a massage at my favorite spa. I've got a lot of upper back/neck pain and the 1-hour deep tissue massage I got was aaaahhhh....mazing (although today I'm feeling it... my muscles feel bruised and sore but it's so worth it to get out all those kinks and knots).
Wishing everyone a great Saturday and remember "shop-small-buy-local" if you're out and about!! :-)
