'Sweaters are like blankets, but you you can wear outside.'
We all love our summer shorts and tank tops, but like it or not, Saturday marks the first official day of winter. It also begins the busiest sweater season of the year. Sure, many people wear sweaters all year long, but for many of us, Christmas week is the busies woolen week of year. Even if not wool, but are cotton, synthetic fiber or some blended combination, it's the week to pull them out and put them on.
They may be shoved in the back of the closet for the other 51 weeks, but holiday week, they're the star attraction. Despite the itch, you can't pose for a family portrait without your best sweater on. Just try it without, I guarantee you, someone, usually your mother, will have something to say.
It's a busy, busy week with social functions requiring more than the usual shirt and jeans you usually wear. There's those ugly sweater parties and the office holiday function. Family gatherings and meals that for some reason, require you to dress up. There's church, and visits from aunts, who look to see that you're wearing the sweater that they gave you last Christmas.
Photographer Bob Burkhardt knows the value of a great sweater, at the holidays, and during a photo shoot. Bob encourages his models, in this case the delicious Chris, to wear them just the right way. Although the Burkhardt method, naked, except for the sweater, might not go over so well with Grandma at the holiday dinner, it does make a statement and would cause a splash at the office party.
