A Mike Shoup Christmas

30.Nov.2005

While doing some needed shopping today my eyes spotted the ultimate Christmas decoration! My inner child, oh who am I kidding, I laughed with glee and felt like dancing with Lucy to one of Schroeder’s masterpieces. I brought the tree home and realized that not only is it the first Christmas tree I’ve ever purchased but my first Christmas decoration as well. How very fitting for such a pathetic looking thing! …I’m talking about the tree, of course.

Of course, I had to proudly show my Christmas tree to the internet and ended up with some interesting photos. This photo occurred accidentally when I forgot to take the flash off and got this cool looking disco ball effect. Not sure what exactly the white specks are, but I’m guessing they’re all the imperfections in the glass ball. Either that or the ball has a bad case of dandruff.

This photo is just the obligatory reflection shot. Please excuse the blurriness, my archaic digital camera doesn’t have a macro lens or even a zoom for that matter! Archaic as in the same 1.3 megapixels that most camera phones can produce these days. I want to get a nice digital SLR, but think I’ll wait until I’m done with boot.
