Mixed up boxing day! My daughter said that it was a dad joke. I apologise for making you go through it as well. Actually I've been wanting to photograph this pair of gloves for quite some time... So what better day? (incorrigible me)
Boxing day in Malta is "strina" from the Italian "la strenna" or "strenna natalizia" which is a present given on Christmas Day or during the Christmas period.
I prefer the mono version. For me it's a much crisper image and does not suffer from the highlights on the gloves. However I prefer the gloves facing downwards as in this image as I can relate to wearing them better in this orientation.
