Father Festivus Found!
Posted by Damon Schreiber (Toronto, Canada) on 25 December 2006 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Caught by the paparazzi late last night...
Darren from Japan
Merry Christmas.
Did he smash your camera after you took this shot?

@Darren: Thanks, Daz!
He was thinking about smashing my nose and grabbing the camera, but once his eyes recovered from the flash, he got a better look at the camera, realised it was nearly four years old, and sniffed that no good little boy or girl would even want it. Stupid materialist.
zach siebert from Italy
man, i'd pay serious cash to have that episode on dvd! Seriously, this photo is very good. nice use of lighting and framing the subject. btw, how did you create the light? did you use a flashlight? This holiday series is great! Merry Christmas!!!

@zach siebert: Thanks, Zach! I just used the on-camera flash and later block out some of the light in Photoshop.
@Still: Indeed! Thanks, Still!

@Duncan Galbraith: Ho ho ho, Crimbo, eh? That's a new one for me and one I rather like. If you don't mind, I may start using it in the future (in crimbos yet to come). See how much we miss over here? First stonker and now this. I feel depraved on account I'm deprived! And no, he's not wearing a manzier; he's actually quite svelte!
Ali-G from Ottawa, Canada

Bravely doth he flash his boxing mittens, ready for the Feats of Strength. "Someone has clearly adorned the Aluminum Pole!" he shouts.
Thus begins Airing of Grievances.
Great Post. Great series.
Cheers and good tidings to you and yours.

@Matt Trujillo Photography: I got a lot of problems with you people!
But not you, Matt. Thanks!
