Happy Holidays Part II

Not much to add, but another few days in Portland for Xmass. This year I had my portrait taken in large format in both a tintype and ferio type for my dear old mom. I had few paper copies made for the rest of the family.

The first is tintype and I have to say it came out rather dashing

This is the Feriotype, ya it doesn't look really that different then the tintype, but in real life you'd be seeing a mirror like effect and some faint other stuff depending on the angle you looked at these.

I spent an afternoon with the old rents and hung some old art of theirs too. Most of the rest of the family I gave cash too since they have a better idea of what they want then I know! Teh rest of my time was spent visiting friends of various sorts. On the down side this will be my last visit to Portland for a while as I'm need to save my money and vacation for this spring/summer period. Oh well.

Hope all is well with everyone otherwise.

Happy Holidays!

Tizz the holiday season, this time around I starting with a long trip to Portland for Thanksgiving. The drive was highly irritating to me as nearly everyone was driving in clumps of cars around slow moving big rigs. It could have been worse, such as snow or a lots of accident and similar crap, but still it was highly irritating. So irritating that I'm whining like a small kid over a week later. Anyway . . .
