I haven't had much time for filmwasting this month, instead trying to use the d*g*t*l cameras to boost my comfort level prior to photographing a family member's wedding. Fortunately, the archive is deep and I found this gem that pretty much describes weather conditions here at the moment. My childhood memories of Christmas mostly involve ice cream cones in my grandparents' back yard. (I'm the snappy dresser on the right, with the box under my arm, along with my sister and cousins.)
All this talk of rain makes me long for "normal" December weather, of the "chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose" variety. Here in Southern California, we're experiencing our longest period of red-flag conditions - high temps, single digit humidity, and strong winds - in history. Temps have been in the 80s all week and there's no rain in the forecast until the end of the month; sigh.
