Fallen Once Again - Leaving 2009

As was noted to the amazing G, the last plus months of 2009 found me in a viewing slump – too dark, too rushed, etc. to take the time to notice things, but I resolved to capture at least some of the magic that was hidden under all the commercial Christmas crap and look for what was really important that might be lying in the peripheries.

Interestingly, it was not so much magic as mildly grotesque variations on holiday themes that emerged in the brief final sojourns with my lens. (I began 2010 in Canada - which thankfully proved to be soil more rich with inspiration!)

So here is the final bursts of Photographic Year I
Below is a random sampling of the demise of 2009…
