EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print captured by Alisdair Macdonald in December 1982, we see a delightful and unexpected encounter between law enforcement and the jolly figure of Santa Claus outside Harrods Store in London. The image tells a humorous tale as the policemen engage with Santa after he was "nicked" for obstruction. It seems that Santa had taken it upon himself to offer passersby the opportunity to pose with him while his colleague snapped pictures. This snapshot from the 1980s perfectly encapsulates the festive spirit of Christmas, blending tradition with lightheartedness. The juxtaposition of uniformed officers conversing with Santa Claus creates an amusing scene that brings a smile to our faces. It reminds us that even those tasked with upholding the law can appreciate some holiday cheer. Alisdair Macdonald's photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also reflects on customs and traditions associated with Christmas during this era. This whimsical image showcases how people found joy amidst their daily routines, embracing humor and laughter during the holiday season. As we gaze at this charming photograph, we are transported back to a simpler time when such encounters were cherished memories rather than fleeting moments shared on social media. Through Alisdair Macdonald's lens, we are reminded of the power of photography to preserve both funny anecdotes and timeless traditions for generations to come.
