Am I now to be known as a holiday paparrazi? Well, I kind of feel like one. I was up late last night wrapping presents for my family. My son had just gone down for the night and upon completion of my task, I took a minute to rest in our easy glider. Something awoke me and, it was not the cats Ali or Moqui. Who should I see leaving gifts under the Christmas tree but, Santa! Now, I was in luck. I had the camera set up on the tripod for family pictures in the morning. This was my son’s first Christmas and I wanted to get some good shots. I had decided to leave the camera set-up for morning. I had removed my flash so, I had to catch Santa quickly or as quickly as a 2 second exposure can be. Now, he does move fast but during those 2 seconds, he didn’t . He never let on that he knew I was watching. He was too busy with his job at hand. And, as quickly as I saw him, he was gone. I thought I was dreaming until I saw the pictures on my camera Christmas night. I can’t explain it but, it happened. In addition to my son’s birth, it was one of the greatest gift I received. I hope some of you saw him too!
