We're all familiar with 'photo-bombing', when an unexpected/unwanted person or animal sneeks into your shot... I wonder if there is a reverse equivalent, when an unexpected (possibly unwanted) photographer sneeks into your photoshoot? That's what I did the other day, on my way into the annual Peace and Crafts Fair in the Victoria Hall.
Father Christmas is often to be found hanging around at the event. I think he must pick up a few stocking fillers there. As I walked past, a group of friends had invited him to feature in their photo. It seemed a good opportunity to take a quick snap myself! He seems to have suffered, like all of us, from a little austerity over the past year - beard and fur not nearly as luxuriant as last year and he himself looks even leaner (compare HERE).
It's all a bit of fun at this time of year. The Peace and Crafts Fair is indeed a good place to stock up on cards and gifts, ready for the festive season, often supporting charities in the process.
Better leave out an extra mince pie for him this year.
ReplyDeleteHe needs some fattening up!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Claus has had him on a salad diet. He's looking forward to all that milk and cookies on Christmas Eve.
ReplyDeleteI photograph people who are posing for a different photographer all the time. So, it is "reverse photo-bombing." I learned something new today.
