Merry Christmas
After days and days in shopping malls photographing "holiday displays" (come on, just call a spade a spade, they're Christmas displays!) for commercial clients who's entire business is all about decorating the malls around the country, my one wish would be that these malls install auto-power-off switches so that when I am working from 11pm until 6am in an empty mall, that I don't hear the same songs on rotation for days on end. But, alas, when I return home, and it's all about my daughters who are so excited to see Santa, listening to those songs takes on a different - more personal - meaning, and they somehow are not a bother anymore.
My wife asks what I want for Christmas, and I want for nothing. I am healthy, have a job I love, and a wonderful wife and two beautiful children. What more could I ask for?
- Peace on Earth?
- Good Will Towards Man?
- Rights Respecting Clients?
- Colleagues Who Value Their Own Talents and Rights As Much As Their Clients (secretly) Do?
- A Photographer's Union?

Merry Christmas! I hope you and your family have a wonderful day!
A photographers union would be great!
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks for all of the valuable information from both this blog and your book.
I hope you had a great Christmas, and were able to spend a lot of time with the family.
Thanks for the blog, it's great fun and I learn things, too.
Happy New Year, and may yours be a prosperous one as well.

Merry Christmas, John. And thanks for all the invaluable help and advice this past year.
What a wonderful world it would be if everyone had their health and were content with their jobs, families, and felt there was nothing more they could ask for.
Happy Holidaze!
