The Advent Calendar; December 22nd

I’m sure you’ve all visited Here Comes the Sun already? If you haven’t, it’s about time! Amanda’s blog is filled with amazing photography and inspiration. Have you noticed that the best blogs are the ones hardest to describe? You basically just have to get over there and see for yourself. Just do yourself a favor and do a little archive digging. Maybe you’ll end up with a new favorite photographer? Here are some examples of the kind of photographs she has posted:

Amanda kindly agreed to let me ask her some questions!

What’s the best thing happening in your life in 2009?
I got married at the end of 2008 so this year has been my first year of marriage and it’s been amazing! I’m just enjoying setting up our home together and enjoying all the small things about married life like cooking a meal together or doing housework side by side- as silly as it sounds. Also this year my husband and I and our close friends traveled to Mozambique and South Africa together and it was a life changing experience!

How are you going to spend this holiday?
Christmas in New Zealand means summer and sunshine, so we will be barbecuing and spending as much time outside as possible.

What’s on top of your wish list this year?
What I really want (but I know I’m not getting) is a little maltese puppy! But i think I might have to wait a bit longer for that one haha. There’s nothing I can really think of that I want this year , I’m just excited to spend the day with my adorable little nieces, because I don’t get to see them often. So my Christmas wish is to make their day as special as possible for them.

and then one question relating to your blog;
How do you discover all the wonderful artists you post about in your blog?
Sometimes my friends tell me about them or I’ve just somehow heard of them but usually I just spend a bit of time doing some good old internet research and somewhere in the process I stumble on a few things I would like to post about. Following the links of your favourite blog or photographer is a good place to start.

Thank you so much Amanda! ♥

    I really love the shot of the feet under the blanket. I have always had a love for shots like this. When I was working for British ELLE Decoration magazine my editor use to tell me off for always bringing a shot from one of my shoots i styled with this type of shot. I can’t help it. I find it so welcoming and well words can’t explain it. You just look at this picture and it explains everything
