Technique notes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. When your non-American companion says, “Oh.My.God.” pull over and dig around behind your seat for the camera.<\/li>\n
  2. Don’t bother checking the camera settings. Instead, just shoot the photo. When the shutter refuses to close, say,”Oh, that’s not going to work!” and then wave the camera around for a little bit until the shutter finally does<\/em> close.<\/li>\n
  3. Admire your results.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Our favorite is still this place<\/a> in Kirkland because we can’t help but admire the minimalist color scheme and the supreme attention to detail. We also have to acknowledge the sheer excess of this place<\/a>, on the right as you come in to West Seattle. I believe it has four Santas, several penguins, a pair of elves, deer and, hmmm, is that a polar bear, along with the requisite blinky lights, bows, and snowflakes.<\/p>\n

    \"\" And while we’re at it, it’s time again for Citizen of the Month’s Blogger Christmahanukanzaakah Online Holiday Concert<\/a>. (Wow, that is not going to fit on the back of the tour t-shirt!) I sent in “I’ve got my love to keep me warm” – a swell little Irving Berlin tune. And if it sounds like I’m playing from the bottom of a well, consider yourself lucky that it doesn’t sound like I’m playing right next to you. I love this open mic day on the web, so thanks, Neil, and may your dreidl always land on gimel<\/a>.<\/p>\n
