Many thanks to all of of you who have popped into this blog from time to time this year. I hope the year has been good to you and look forward to your visits next year.

I hope you have achieved at least some of your photographic ambitions this year and that the Street Photography Gods have blessed you with at least a couple of unusual moments, I really do believe that some of the moments I capture are gifted to me, but I do not know from where or who ! Long may it continue.

Remember that Christmas is not a great time for everyone, if your out shooting over the Holidays do not exploit the vulnerable . Show some kindness, it will be reflected back.

My final picture of 2014 explores the influence of American culture on England and the commercialisation of Christmas.

Merry Christmas
