Merry Christmas everyone I hope Santa was nice to you all.

It’s been a while since I posted. Busy few weeks getting stuff done in work and getting ready for Christmas. Still I thought I should post something so here’s a picture from last weekend when we were putting up our Christmas tree. It may be a little blurry but I like it because of the colors, I’m easily pleased sometimes.

We went away to Co. Clare for the weekend and stayed in a hotel which falls into the “modern but trying to appear old” bracket. In one of the alcoves of the bar was a bookshelf stacked with old hardback books no one ever bothers to read. In the bottom corner of the bookshelf was a stack of even older looking, worn and tatty books. These looked far more interesting so I snapped a photo of them. I didnt try to read any of them because the pile looked a little too precarious to be messed with. For all I know they could have been made in China last year, treated to look old and sold in a Hotel Bits and Bobs market but I liked them.

It’s been a quiet few weeks for me on the photography front. I’m not sure if it’s lack of inspiration or if I’ve just been too busy with other stuff. I’m getting married later in the year and the last few weeks have been pretty hectic with planning. Not that I’ve not had time to take some photos but when I get home I’m just not in the mood to put them on the computer and do anything with them. I have a set from Cahir of the castle and River Suir that I took a couple of weekends ago that I havent even looked at yet.

Still I have to do something photographic and having the iPhone helps because I’m able to snap some photos and mess with them without having to open the laptop. This week as part of the wedding planning the ties the bridal party will wear arrived. I’m sure it’s probably not the done thing to post up photos of wedding clothing before the event but the hipstamatic effects distort the true color and appearance of the tie so mean this is more like a teaser rather than a real spoiler.
