It seems a bulk of the people got my Christmas cards (you international people may need to wait a few more days). I now feel comfortable unveiling the cards to the greater public.

After last year's Christmas photos, I was certain I wasn't going to do them again. I mean, honestly, how do you cap the absolute awkwardness of these photos?

The answer: convince three of your coworkers to join in on the fun. It took us two times to get out to Sears (they "lost" our appointment the first time), but it turned out much better (they were pricks the first night we came) cause we had a nice vibe with our photographer (always very important).

Instead of just sending one card out, we made a collector's set of 7 and distributed them in the office. Unfortunately, the ones that were mailed out were all the same - I picked the one I thought was most awkward.

Each of these were touched up in Photoshop (for the soft glow effect), and we Photoshopped our autographs on there for PERSONALIZATION:

The seventh one is missing - it was digitally altered by Guerric to represent "Happy Holidays from San Diego" - I'll try to track it down and post it.

There were also "individual" session shots:

Thanks to my coworkers (Corey, Damien, and Guerric) for being such great sports. More session pictures in the album.
