Merry Christm-akkuh!

Jim Jackson, playing the part of Santa Claus, takes a moment to adjust his hat while waiting for children to stop by to give him their wish list on Sunday, December 6, 2009 during the Wellesley Chamber of Commerce Holiday Stroll on Central Street.


Having fun covering a lot of Holiday events and wanted to put a few up here. Hope you enjoy and that you are having a great Holiday season whatever you celebrate.

Old school

I picked up a 'new' camera this summer. It is a 1950 Czechoslovakian Flexoret. It is a TLR that shoots medium format film. Up until this point my only foray into the world of medium format was with a holga. They can be fun but there is just too much guessing for my tastes. The flexoret gives full manual control but has no light meter so you need one with you. Anyway I put two rolls through it and $60 dollars later (processing - eesh) I have my results. Here are a few that I liked.
