Kitschy


This old Christmas tree was one of my mother's favorite decorations. At least that is what I tell myself, since it is one of the last surviving items from those long gone days. It is precious to me in all of its kitschy goodness. Somehow, too, it reminds me of the old Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer animated show from the middle of the last century. This year, the funky little tree is sitting in front of a mirror in the living room. 

The bokeh comes from the Zeiss 80mm f/2.8 lens mounted on the period correct Rolleiflex SL66. It was shot on HP5+ and developed in DDX. I'm slowly getting in the holiday spirit.
