It’s Christmas Eve, the kids are finally asleep, and the fire is almost out.

Old St. Nick is near.

I photographed this para-sailing scene just over a year ago. Soon after, I decided to bid goodbye to my Konica Hexanon 60mm f/1.2 lens.

For some reason I never got around to posting this image, until now.

We photograph to remember.

This is the last of my 3 images in 43 min.

The title is from The Beatles‘ song, which was running through my head when I took this image.

Update 2: Getty & Christmas at the Toronto Beach.

Inspiration, Print, Teaching point

–

In October, I provided an update to the above image, Christmas at the Toronto Beach, which I’d licensed over to Getty Images. The original post can be found here.

Tonight, I discovered via the Getty Contributor website that the rights for this image have been purchased again, this time by a “fashion/textiles” company in France, for a period of three months.

Interestingly, the royalty fee paid was almost three times the amount of what the first company paid. Hmmm… I’m beginning to re-think this whole Getty thing.

Funny enough, this image was taken with the Leica 28mm Summicron ASPH, a lens I used for only a very brief period of time.

Funnier still is the date that this latest royalty amount will be paid out: Christmas Day.
