Went to my first Christmas party at The Firm this evening, which was exactly what I needed after a bad start to the day. My work there is going just fine, it’s everything else that’s been a struggle. The last few weeks have been rough, and this week has been brutal. So I welcomed a few hours of eating and drinking and escapist conversation. It sounds bizarre to refer to working on Bay Street as escapism but I appreciate that it has no resemblance to the business of photography.
I can’t wait to get through December, in case you couldn’t tell. The short walk from the office to the resto/bar was in a deep chill (it’s -9C right now!), and when I left to go home it felt twice as cold. Winter is definitely upon us.
In searching for an image for today I gravitated towards this peaceful scene of candles burning in a cathedral in Vienna. It’s very simple and low on detail, exactly what my brain needs right now.
Music for today: the ’80s meets the ’00s (?) — KT Tunstall jams with Daryl Hall at his house in London for “Out of Touch”, one of my favourite songs from the Big Hair Era
Here’s the original video from 1984. Check out the hairstyles and fashion!

I love KT Tunstall’s “Suddenly I See”
If you’ve ever seen “The Devil Wears Prada, that song mite be familiar.

Yeah, it was also the song for Hilary Clinton’s 2008 campaign. I’ve featured KT Tunstall on this blog before… let me dig it up…
