A Brief Rant

Friday, January 13, 2006


Not content with starting Xmas in October, now we have Valentines in January. This is the kind of thing which is killing all the excitement and enjoyment of these 'special' days. On the other hand, if you don't mind it, you can now get Valentines heart biscuits from Sainsburys a month in advance [UK only ;) ]...

I really dont like the fact that special days get promoted a month ahead of time. Its just crazy and makes it not seem so specail. I do like the black background and the isolation the negative space that is used in your photo.

I like the simplicity of this as well. Nice exposure on the biscuit and good solid bg.

I agree - they start everything too early. It's not just the holidays, it's every event. "Back to School" start as soon as the year ends, Christmas starts in September....it's crazy and I, too, get sick of seeing it all for months in advance.

My first job was working in a retail store and the Christmas merchandise and music seemed to last forever. It really did take all of the enjoyment out of the holiday.
