As I write this Libby is finishing wrapping the last of the presents, most of the younger kids are asleep (or doing a very good job of pretending), and the older two are upstairs doing something or other, so our Christmas Day is getting off to a reasonably smooth and peaceful start. Fingers crossed they all sleep till morning, but I won't be surprised to find one or more of them running around at 3am because Santa has managed to squeeze his way down our stove pipe ;)
On which note, Merry Christmas :)

Hi Dave, I have not seen yet the 3rd shoot, but I'm sure this set of high keys will be a strike. I love this kind of work so much. Thanks for sharing, motivation the hole year and good luck doing great jobs in 2010. Greetings from germany ... Cheers!

Looks like a gap ad ;) Is it me or is the 1DS sharper than the 5D Mark II? This really is brilliant Dave. Merry Christmas Dave. Hoping our paths cross in the year to come. Cheers

Wow, David...
Both for the frame, and the stunning model..
Always fun to visit your blog ...And, of course - Merry Christmas! :)

Thanks everyone.
Brooks: it's more to do with the sharpening than anything to do with the body, but I do like my 1Ds Mark II - not least because it's a lot more weatherproof than the 5D II :)

Haven't posted in long time David. Is this the young girl you caught crying so long ago? If yes then my gosh she has grown. But then again so have my two sons!
