Hi Don,

I like very much the sense of intimacy on your pictures, very hot and tender

Enjoy Christmas with your family!

Saludos desde Barcelona

Asunto: [Leica] Don's PAW Back to basics, lighting the tree

Mary came home from school this week with three priorities.  First was to
finish a major paper for her final grade, second was to catch up on sleep,
and third was to get our Christmas tree up and decorated.  This weeks PAW is
really a family snapshot, but sometimes items of vast personal importance
can be trivial.  For example, the reed organ in the background was carried
by wagon from Connecticut to Nebraska in the 1860's and was restored by
SWMBO's Grandfather.  The candlesticks in the background were turned by my
father under duress from my mother who wanted two inch candles for a
Thanksgiving meal many years ago.  So, sometimes, trivial items of little
meaning to outsiders are very important.

Anyway, first up:

Second, getting busted is sometimes fun.

Last,  my personal favorite although flawed as a photograph by an overly
bright background and a just missed focus.

So, to all of my many friends at the LUG saloon, have a wonderful end of
year.  Spend time with your loved ones; reflect on those departed; do at
least one act of charity toward the undeserving; and keep pushing that
shutter, who knows what could happen.
