Christmas 2014 Entry Foyer Wide View

OK...I'm sensing that interest in these Christmas photos is waning. Actually, there is a VERY small, and very limited interest in Christmas photos on Flickr anyway. Such is life.

 

This will be the last of the Christmas decoration photos for this year. I may do a couple of specific detail shots -- like the Nutcracker diorama seen on top of the wood-burning stove in the mantle. I think, though, that the several shots I've uploaded of the room are sufficient for this year.

 

2015 will be a year of new and different types of photography. I'll be spending much more time in the studio, working on 'commercial'-type images. And I'll be attempting to guide folks through how some of the photos were made. A few will actually be interested.
