Leave it to me to be shooting macabre images the night before Christmas Eve!
I guess much of this shoot was technically done on Christmas Eve itself, because we started late in the evening and didn’t wrap it up until 4:00 am. (Sorry again, honey!)

With the country in an economic recession and more and more companies laying off hard-working people to trim expenses (my employer has let go of about eight people in the past few months – about half of our staff), incomes are becoming less stable, at least theoretically. For these reasons, I know that the more frivolous expenses such as fine art portraits will likely be cut from most people’s budgets. (more…)
