I used to get so excited for Christmas, with the kids getting so excited and all the fun festivities, decorating the house, wrapping presents. Then, of course, was Christmas Holidays…

I had been looking for something fun to do with some friends and students for an end of the year get together, a change from the usual Sunday brunch and champagne or a ‘play-date’ in the studio. Something fun and inclusive of photographers and non-photographers alike. I came across this European Christmas Cookie class by…

Another week and another set of questions from Melanie (who I hope is feeling better from having the Flu), this week VERY Christmassy SYW What traditional Christmas decoration is actually a parasitic plant? Without resorting to Mr Google, I have no idea, is it Holly? I am not really sure, here in Australia we have a…
