the rose family. they make it so stinking easy. look at this lot. that’s four consecutive frames on the same roll. that isn’t supposed to happen. and there are plenty more. this is just a sampling because i’m really into sharing pictures from the old rollie these days. if you are nice, i’ll show more in a while.

i’ve been shooting families for the holidays for three or four years now. this year i decided to run it a bit differently. instead of scheduling every session separately, i picked a few of my favorite locations around town and set up a time slots on each day. then i got the word out and hoped people would start requesting shoot times.

they signed up alright. last weekend i shot up four different families. one on saturday and then three back to back to back on sunday. i think it went pretty well.

i took the opportunity to throw some film in the old Rolleiflex and see what happens. there were plenty of good frames with the canon full auto machine, but i thought i’d share a few from the Rollei’ tonight. maybe its just me, but there’s something extra fun about them.

i’m currently right in the middle of families weekend number 2. i’ll share some of those when they get birthed.

one of my pictures made it on the rose’s christmas card last year to great success. i heard about it from many. great advertising for sure! let’s see what they come up with this year.

today i got my first christmas card of the ‘08 holiday season.  it was from the killams.  with one of my pictures.  the one from the previous post.  it reminded me that i had promised some more.  here they are.
