Around this time every year the mall near our house stages a Santa
arrival. The event draws a crowd that must number near 1000. Everyone
sits waiting anxiously for Santa. The mall management does it up big
with a reporter up on the roof broadcasting to a wide screen TV down
below and an elaborate Santa castle in the center of the mall's large
atrium. Finally, smoke fills the stage and Santa emerges. Every kid in
the audience and most of the adult are transfixed. I snapped this pic
with my little Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1. I had to go to ISO 800 to
avoid using flash. I held the camera nearly at ground level, so I
could look up at Grace and the crowd. The result was noisy as heck,
but I smoothed it out a bit and converted it to BW. It's here:
