I'm Santa and the beard is mine.

This is not even half the folks at the party which ran into the early hours accompanied by some serious over eating but not much drinking.                            24 December 2001

One of my retirement hobbies is turning unposed snapshots into something special.  On the right is the original shot; on the left is the result of a little digital magic on Doña Martha's picture.

 

 


Below are more Christmas party shots that came out kind of nice.

His father had just given Paco that giant sparkler, and he was headed out the door.

Rosa paused at the kitchen door to check on the rapidly disappearing Christmas tamales.  We ate a lot.
