    Default That time of year

    Sunridge Mall could not afford a photographer ... or so it seems. They have Santa there, but offer the public to take pictures themselves of Santa with kids.

    Great detail in his beard, very nice shot. Her smile is priceless.

    Down here, you can get them to take the picture (for some outragous fee) or take it yourself for free. I don't feel bad if I take an extra 15-30 secs to get a good shot, because half of the parents are spending way too much time torturing their kids. The kid is screaming their head off, not wanting to be there, so the parents take for ever trying to get the kid to smile. I have three years of my youngest daughter crying in Santa's lap. I was, "just take it".

    Well thanks all. Funny, i tried a little experiment with my new printer. Printed this one out on Moab lasal high gloss, and then on Staples high gloss. Moab paper is 23 cents per sheet, Staples is 13cents. Took both prints to our photo club, and most people preferred the cheaper paper. Go figure!
