Christmastime is by far my favorite time of the year. This year, we celebrated Christmas with our family in friends in San Diego for a little over a week before we hopped on a Christmas Day flight back up to Portland to celebrate with our family here. Before diving into editing all the other photos, I figured I should edit the photos from the "Grown A$$ Christmas" party first since I know Ryan has beenwaiting ever-so patiently for them.
Upon finishing the edits, I came to two conclusions:
1. I should have sat Ryan down while I was in San Diego to have him teach me how to properly edit photos. I'm tired of being such a n00b.
2. Having a good flash makes ALL the difference.
So many of the photos may have looked okay in the little screen on the camera when we previewed them, but then when I uploaded them, they came out extremely blurry. Well, it was either that or just the fact that Francis got progressively more and more drunk as he kept taking photos. Out of the 50 photos I was able to edit, I only took the first 19. After that, it's a mystery as to whether the photos were taken by Francis, Ryan, or Pete. Sorry there weren't more photos. Our battery died halfway through the night. We thought we were so prepared by bringing our spare battery, but it was already drained before we even used it.
Either way, Pete and I had a great time. Thank you to Mel for planning an awesome party, Virgil and Jay for DJing, and to Laura and John for providing the venue. It had been a long time for Pete and myself to be among all you amazin' San Diegans, and it was such a jolly good time!
I also don't know how to post the photos as a slideshow the same way Ryan does it, but I hope this will suffice until I either a) figure it out myself, b) get fed up and ask Ryan about it, or c) give up and post all the photos on Google+/Facebook instead. I added music though, so turn your speakers on to enjoy a delightful Christmas song by the oh-so-fab She & Him.
Until next time,
p.s. :):)
