Big thanks to everyone that came to visit us and everyone that pitched in this time around! We'll be planning another sale in a few months... but first I think everyone deserves a few parties and maybe some outdoor movies at night with the projector... let me know your thoughts or ideas! John
Random Shots
Photos taken here at La Entrada Apartments, Christmas Eve 2008...
These were taken while out with my co-judges for the decorating contest Christmas Eve 08. My little old Kodak camera has a setting where it will keep the lense open to collect more light, similar to a 'bulb exposure' on a nice 35mm film camera. If you've yet to try a little program called Picasa by Google, you really should, as some of these shots weren't even viewable before some serious tweaking.
You can click on the above slideshow to re-start it, or click again to open the gallery view, then click 'slideshow' at the top of the page to view a full screen slideshow... Enjoy! John.
