and of course i took this super blurry one...which i totally intended to have be this blurry....in my world, i consider this to be an artful shot....

i do believe this is what we in the photo-snapping circles might call "diffused lighting"....or "confused fighting" is more like it - an elbow in my groin, a knee in my backside, a swift kick in my shins all while trying to gracefully avoid getting any of the unattractive holiday guests of the city in my potential christmas card shot....you'll be happy to know i gave up on that whim last night and used a clean, clear, crisp and non-color-re-touched snap from wyoming this summer as the card shot....that's what i call cowboying up the city slicker way....
