While walking though a quant little country village, who do you think we spotted? Yup, the big man himself!


So, not quite eight tiny reindeer, he had to settle for a couple of huge Begian drafts:





He looked in rare form, and understandably didn't have much time to stay and chat:





He continued on his long, hard journey, after of course, getting explicit directions to my house:





Merry Christmas everyone..........

That's a bit creepy..just slightly.

I do however like the blurry frame around the pictures.

Nice pics. I'd love to see more shots of Santa making his
way around the globe.

Merry Christmas.

Naw, mere humans have to do that. Santa just moves too fast.

Thanks, PJ.

Elphaba

Santa stopped by here, just minutes ago, to deliver my gift. I just love his posse.

While there are filters that give this sort of effect(although not quite to this degree), that wasn't the case. And since you will NEVER see vasoline make it's way into my camera bag, here's the real lowdown:

Elphaba, thanks so much for that one. That animation may have sealed the deal as far as the Drifters version being better than Bing's.........

Much love to you this Christmas season!

Mantus

A nice temporal portal you got there joe. Step though next time!

Charlatan

Joe... you are indeed the best.

Great shots... I didn't get the Digital SLR I wanted for Christmas (I need to have a chat with Santa) so I think I am just going to have to get a Holga and keep it up with my phone...

You are an inspiration my friend.

Beautiful work pj. Wow, you sure get some nice snow on the right coast. Us left coasters...nada! Is this your D100? Gorgeous colors my friend, and emotional, thoughtful photos.

jujueye

A fine choice...and still around $20 bucks! There is a newer version that has the cutomizations already added in now, but stick with the original (the 120N) for starters. Seeing your first roll of pro-sized film with square photos is a rush!

Hey! It's Santa!

Beautiful work there. You a professional?
