End of 2010 in Dubai

Dubai in December was super fun.

Wifey and I

Leena came back through Dubai on her way home to Finland.  There was still some chocolate left magically, which we devoured in the few days she was here.  I think Finnish chocolate is the most delicious.  Lots more catching up and shop shopping.  FYI - DO NOT buy faux ipod nanos from Carrefour.  Big error.  They are £20 for a reason.

 We rode the metro for fun through the city - got some great shots.  From the Mall of the emirates to Karama area and back. Definitely recommend it.  Very clean and fast.  We got a gold pass so we could ride up front and take some photos.

 Leena and I also went to the Bastikiya for the evening - one of my favourite places in Dubai.  It's so magical at night - here are some of the snaps I took.  I gave them a black and white eerie feel.

An outdoor exhibition - dangling photos.  Love it!

Beautiful Leena

Admiring the art!

The light hits the walls.

Had more work coming in for family portraits and hopefully this will lead to more contacts after the holidays.  I'm hoping to set up a photography studio type business here eventually.  I had a really fun shoot of 4 brothers.  All completely different personalities, hilarious and so so cute.  They ended up buying one for grandma and one huge one for their entrance hall. 

No Dubai week will be complete without some beach time!
