I was very pleased to be one of the photographers at the Winter Hafla – along with my wife, Agata and our friend James. Between the three of us we managed to pull together a nice diverse collection of images. These are a few of my own personal favourites.

The Oxford Santa Run is held each year in support of Helen & Douglas House, a local children’s hospice. Literally thousands of Santas took part this year, along with a smattering of elves, helpers and even a reindeer or two.

A great act to see live – this was the second time we caught them in action. Like a number of US bands, Hayseed Dixie are happy to allow taping and photography at their gigs so I was down at the front, M8 in hand.
