Each Saturday, an image will be posted here that was originally posted somewhere in our forum roughly one year prior. Be sure to check back each Saturday for our blasts from the past!

Its time for Santa to start sitting in the mall all day and find out what little boys and girls want for Christmas. Its also time for the uncertainty of how will the child react when they see Santa. Most moms and dads (and other relatives) have had the experience of a child breaking into tears just as the camera shutter snaps. And when the child doesn't cry, the image can still be very dull or blurry if you rely on your camera to figure out how to take the image. Whether you own a point and shoot camera or an advanced SLR you can still get great Santa shots by following a few simple tips.

Its Thanksgiving Day and a time to remember what all we are thankful for as we spend time with relatives (or avoid them in some cases). This year I've drawn up a list of things I'm thankful for as a photographer. I'd love to hear about what you are thankful for as well!!!
