The dinner table on Christmas Eve
Yesterday was Christmas! On Christmas Eve, I went with my mom’s side of the family to a candlelight service, and then we all had dinner at the grandparents’ house. I made some vegetable and chick-pea curry, and had some assorted vegetables and such that other folks had brought. And Grandma made a wonderful pumpkin pie. I set up and shot family portraits while I was there, which proved interesting, as I worked with Grandpa’s 5D Mark II, and forgot that its maximum sync speed was 1/250. So now I’ve just finished processing the photos, and cropping the black sync bars off the bottoms of every frame. After that and dinner we had the gift exchange, which was one of those where everyone draws a number out of a hat, and then you each pick a present in the order of your numbers, with the option to take someone else’s after your turn.
