Ole Saint Beatnik


I still have a handful of the Christmas ornaments my parents bought in the 1960s and 1970s. I definitely cherish these items, but at this point they sure do make me reflect on the passage of time. Anyway, Ole Saint Beatnik here is one of my favorites. Remember beatniks? Each year when we pull him out of the box, I can't resist making his portrait. I stopped down quite a bit for this, but with his cartoonish looks, I still couldn't get the whole face in acceptable focus. Maybe I'll get some extra depth of field for Christmas.

Good light this weekend.
