Darkroom: Meeting Santa

Santa Claus sightings get earlier and earlier each year. In the lead up to the holidays, I am always on the lookout for Saint Nicholas around town. I found him at the Annapolis Town Center greeting kids of all ages.

You never know what you are going to get when watching kids meet Santa. The happy-go-lucky child, who knows the drill and exactly what they want for Christmas. The Ralphie type who panics and asks for a football instead of a Red Ryder BB Gun. (”A Christmas Story” reference for those who are fans.) Or the screamer, who totally loses it and cries when they approach Santa.

Santa, being the old pro he is, has seen and knows how to deal with each type. They all make great moments to capture with my camera.

Santa Claus is coming to town and every picture will be jolly.
