Christmas

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! I'm just going to stick up a few pointless photos of my Christmas for you to look at. My Christmas was nice, if a bit short-lived, I've gone back to Blockbuster for the holidays & as a result, only had Christmas Eve & Christmas Day off, which was no fun, especially as the Boxing Day rush does not extend off the highstreet into Blockie, where we have the same sale on as we did before Christmas & haven't even bothered to cut the price of the Christmas selection boxes...







Christmas isn't Christmas without some exciting socks from my aunt. She may well have out done herself this year.



My Dad got me a backdrop, which my brother & I set up & tried out in the dining room, however, even with the table blocking the entrance to the kitchen, there wasn't enough space...the lights were pretty much on top of him & the camera was inches away from his face. This posed several problems - it was boiling, I couldn't light the backdrop to conceal the creases & well, I couldn't really light it properly at all. Still, I like this candid shot:



We're having to send the backdrop back as one of the stands was cracked when we got it out of the box. After that I will concentrate on getting the creases out & finding somewhere practical to set it up. I'm hoping my room at university is big enough to actually fashion some half-decent set-up. But, even though I've been living there for the last three months I can't envision how big the room is. Fingers crossed.

In other news, I had a beauty shoot last week & now that I have a new mouse (I cannot stand using my Macbook's trackpad) courtesy of my brother, I shall endeavour to get them up. I might also do some university work this week. As I have a five thousand word essay on vampires that I've yet to start...not to mention the Economics...
