Merry Christmas!


Joe and tree From Above
And I don't mean that in a bad way.  While the PC thing these days is to shed all that is traditional in favor of not offending anyone who may not share the same beliefs, I see no reason to change my ways.  When I reach for a box of fluffy paper tightly packed into a box, I still say "I'm getting a Kleenex", without even a thought to Scotties' feelings, who actually made them.  When I need a sheet of thin plastic clingy material, I say I'm getting some Saran Wrap, not even having the respect to clear value.  And when I refer to the Holiday season that, to some, celebrates the birth of Christ, I say Merry Christmas!

I've always wanted to do one of those "from above" shots that is the rage on the innerweb these says.  I think I need a fisheye lense or learn how to user the gimp better.  Update... A friend sent me a copy with the effect I wanted.  Click here.Vacek's effects

The text refers to where I feel I am this year.  I cast a lot of stones, but I've since gathered a bunch together.
