THE HOLLY AND THE IVY The closer it gets... the more it begins to dawn, that this is not going to be a family-affair this year. Well make the best of it... Do NOT forget the lonely? The Holly and the Ivy is a traditional Christmas carol, which is among the most lightly Christianized carols of the Yuletide— the holly and the ivy being among the most familiar Druidic plants. Holly and ivy have been the mainstay of Christmas decoration for church use since at least the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, when they are mentioned regularly in churchwardens’ accounts (Roud 2004). Im not surprised that they are so popular, they are fresh, green, with the jolly berries AND plentiful in the garden, this time of year, and also, so very decorative. I am trying to use as little light and dof as possible, a challenge that I love. I find it necessary and refreshing to regularly go back to the basics of photography. As a discipline, Ill go out with my Nikon F4, a 50mm lens, b&w or colour film. Or like here, Ill preconceive a scenario, go in the studio, set up and photograph until I am happy that I have the result in front of my eyes that I had in my head. I wish you a day full of peace and goodness, thanx, M, (*_*) Please do not use this image on websites, blogs or any other media without my explicit permission. © All rights reserved
