The Return of ReinDog

Although I did not take this image, I had to post it here tonight.  My lovely wife took this shot of our dog Hondo the other day.  Every year she converts Hondo into one of Santa's reindeer, and every year Hondo has that silly look on his face that just seems to say, "Oh no, not again!"

Just Another One of Those Daze?

This photo series “The Beauty of an Ugly Addiction” is Photographer Frieke Janssens’ response to nicotine addiction and new smoking laws. She asks, “does this ban treat adults like children who can’t willfully decide whether or not to partake in this horribly harmful habit? What is it about smoking, aside from the obvious addictive content, that draws people in? Is it its image from film noir? Is it the appeal of its performative consumption, that mannerism or pose that seems to imbue a smoker with a particular sort of character?”

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree. . .

Tonight we continued the family tradition of decorating the Christmas Tree. . .  the girls had a blast and as they danced and pranced around the room, I enjoyed my wife looking over at me, sharing a look of pure contentment. . .

 

Which Photo A or B? Help me decide. . .

Alright readers, I'm turning to you for help.  I have recently taken two images (I won't tell you how I got them. . .) and I'm having trouble deciding which one to use.  I'm asking you to comment below on which image you prefer and why?  We'll discuss more of the image purpose in a later post.
