Merry Christmas!
May your days be merry and bright!
Tuesday Tunes: Christmas Style
Happy Tuesday! Today I want to share some of my favorite lesser known Christmas songs with all of you. But first, let me give you a Christmas present. I recently came across some awesome music by Jeremy Larson. His side project, Fort Christmas, is so good! You can get his song, “Confetti” for FREE by clicking the down arrow on the player. If you like his music as much as I do, you can buy more songs at: fortchristmas.bandcamp.com or you can listen to him on grooveshark. My favorite Fort Christmas song is “The Leave Behind.”

There are soooo many more I could add to this list, but I’ll stop myself. What are some of your favorite lesser known Christmas tracks?
Of Eternal Life
Remember the photo shoot with this pretty lady? If not, I mentioned she’s an author… a really talented one at that! Now that her website is up and running, you can read an excerpt from her novel, Of Eternal Life. Once it’s published (which should be soon), you can buy it at a bookstore near you! Yay!
I’ve Opened Up Shop!
With Christmas right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to start shopping for your loved ones. I recently opened up shop on Storenvy, which means you can get some of my fine art prints to give away as gifts (or get for yourself)! Feel free to jump up and down, clap your hands, and be joyful… I won’t judge. Take a look at my store: bstreetphoto.storenvy.com I’ll be adding much more to my shop, so be sure to check back often. Here’s what I’m offering so far:
In case you’re wondering, I have the “I Love My Bicycle” print on canvas… and it looks awesome.
The Beast vs. Nammy
About a month ago, my uncle unloaded a ton of photography equipment on me. It was like Christmas, my birthday, and every other holiday all rolled into one! I’ve been having a lot of fun playing with all these new toys. I am most excited about this camera, which I lovingly named “The Beast.” It’s awesome; and I’m pretty sure it weighs more than I do.
I shot my first test roll on my grandma, Nammy. There’s nothing she hates more than having her picture taken, but I was able to sneak in a few shots. Nammy is one of the most special people in the world to me. She has more spunk and zest for life than anyone. I can’t believe she’s going to be 89 in January!
