Jim and I drove from our home in Valdosta to my sister's house in Atlanta to celebrate Christmas with Mother, Daddy, Paulette, and DeWayne. We all rode in the van to the Marta station and rode to the Atlanta High Museum of Art to see the China Exhibit.

Feel free to advertise the swap. Those who are interested but are not flickr members can send me their info to PinkChristmasSwap@gmail.com
Name
Address
Email Address
Website or Blog if you have one
And if you are able to ship internationally.
I need all this information by November 1st. It will take me a few days to compile all the information and form swap groups, but I promise to have everything back to everyone by November 8th.
Then, you must mail your ornament to your swap partners by December 1st.
The groups will be made up of 5 partners. That means you have to make 4 ornaments to send to others.
The key to remember here is that you must make these ornaments and they must be pink. Other than that, it's up to you how you want to craft them.
Please keep in mind that you will have to pack these and ship them so they arrive in one piece. No one likes to get a broken ornament in the mail.

A Christmas Cactus that has bloomed way before Christmas : ) Or is this a Thanksgiving Cactus? Taken yesterday in my kitchen.
This photo is all about the background. I wanted to take a portrait of my daughter practicing her violin with nice Christmas tree light bokeh behind her. To get the effect I envisioned in our very small living room required a fairly careful balancing of lighting and camera settings.
On the lighting front, I used a flash with a 1/2 CTO gel through a white umbrella to camera right for key and a flash bounced off of a yellow room wall to camera left for fill. Both flashes were set at fairly low power to balance with the small tree lights at a wide aperture. To maximize the blurring and relative size of the tree lights in the background (which were only about three feet behind my daughter), I backed up as far as I could (maybe 6 feet), zoomed in tight, and set my lens to its maximum aperture (f/4). I could have used my shorter but brighter 50mm f/1.8 to achieve an even shallower depth of field, but the lights in the background would have then appeared much smaller.
You can read more about my thoughts on using longer lenses to isolate a subject against a background in this blog post

The chiefs aboard the nuclear-powered guided-missile submarine USS Ohio (SSGN 726) sign Christmas cards to be sent to other chiefs serving in the Middle East on Individual Augmentee assignments. The chiefs also sent gourmet coffee and cards to help heighten the morale of some junior Sailors serving in the Middle East for the holidays.

Christmas at my parents house in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas.
There were many Christmas ornaments around the house and festive things set out for the Holidays by mom, but the things I enjoy most about being at my parents are the things that have been sitting around for years. Antique figurines, old furniture and some old bottles; the things that bring back a flood of memories.
(I should have set an ornament in her lap to make it more Christmassy ... why can't I think of these things when I'm shooting?)
This year's annual family Christmas card photo. Our original intention was to get Nyla (our kitty) standing in the middle of the cooking, with her face in the bowl, etc but we opted for something more "down home" & cozy. The message inside the card:
"Christmas goodies from us to you
Eat 'em quick - before we do!"
Merry Christmas, everyone!
