I’ve posted a bunch from this spot already, but here’s an unshared shot. I will go back here again. I’d like to try it in black and white.

I shipped a roll of black and white film out for developing last week. I haven’t heard anything back yet. My fingers are crossed I will get them before the end of this week so I can make sure using Dad’s lens with my camera will be okay for Disney World. I’m starting to lose hope, though there is still plenty of time. Hopefully I’ll get the email saying they received the film today.

Like I said, fingers crossed.

Vermont, Not Georgia

ADDENDUM: That’s christmas eve, not christmas even. Sorry.

Despite what the sign says, this was taken at a rest stop in Vermont, not in Georgia.

I took a handful of film pictures of our christmas even and christmas morning celebrations. I also got my first mirrorless camera, which is also my first full frame digital camera and I am totally smitten.

Pajamas

For the last few years Jen has been buying matching christmas pajamas for the family. To say it’s adorable is the understatement of the decade. Each time she’s done it I have had to exclude myself because I was too fat to find pajamas that fit me. I’m not a pajama guy in general so I didn’t mind too much, but I did feel bad about myself and left out. This year, 200 pounds later, Jen included me. I’m sitting here typing this, having just finished my day’s 30 minutes of exercise, wearing those christmas pajamas.

The irony here is that Jen bought them a couple of months ago and they are way too big for me. It is truly a christmas miracle.

Merry christmas, everyone.

Merry Christmas

It’s 6:00am on Christmas morning! Why the hell am I awake?

Remember when I used to post pictures that my father took back in the 80’s without ever finishing the roll of film and I had them developed in 2022 and they were green messes of messy? There were two semi-usable pics in that roll that I saved for today. I tried to clean them up in GIMP a little… not that it helped, or that I knew what I was doing.

Anyway…

Christmas Eve

Hello and welcome to christmas eve! It was 55 degrees out yesterday and it’s 10 degrees out right now. That’s a 45 degree swing in about 15 hours. Hooray! Also, I have a bad stomach ache this morning. It’s all winning today, left and right. Hooray!

I have more cookies to bake today. I am finished with today’s exercise. What else. Don’t think I am going out to take christmas eve pics because, as mentioned, 10 degrees Fahrenheit. I am certainly not going to the ocean. To hell with that frosty noise.

Okay, time to start the day. HoHoHo

Also, Jen sent us this a few minutes ago. Apparently Santa Claus gets a fighter escort from NORAD in both the US and Canada. Nice of the red suited dude to slow down for them, right?
