I will probably need all of you great photographers to help me out when it comes time, with some helpful tips.

Okay then. :) Well, you can use the self-timer or you can get someone to take your portrait! I'd be happy to help you in any way I can, just let me know.
We will be waiting! :nod:

I know that in the US they lie about Santa Claus living in the North Pole, but that's rubbish. Santa Claus, or Joulupukki as we call him lives in Korvatunturi in Finnish Lapland :nod: If you don't believe me, just check this out: Santa Claus

The Finnish Santa Claus receives over half a million letters each year from almost 200 different countries, not just from Finland, but for example from Great Britain, Poland, France, Italy and Japan :D His address is:

Santa Claus (or Joulupukki)
99999 KORVATUNTURI
FINLAND

Annamariah, I am totally enchanted with the real Santa's site. I love that one page where you pass the mouse over the hanging ornaments and they swing. I also, love all the little details and clicked on all to see what this is all about. I love that wheel that turns and the center tells how many days till Christmas. It's really website; like the part that lists the various languages for the holiday greeting. By the way, an early "Hyvää Joulua ja Onnellista Uutta Vuotta!"

So that is where Santa hangs out yearly. I wish I could come visit the village...the food sounds delightful. I would love the icehouse most; although, I hate being cold. Thanks for posting the site. It was quite entertaining and I think the real Santa is kind of cute.

Thanks Toni; that would be great, if you help me; but trying to figure out how you can do so, so many miles away and a few oceans appart, right? I guess you can instruct me here in cyberspace. Thanks again. Can't wait to get my new camera.

Not only is it my first self-portrait on here, but it's my first experimentation with photoshop!

I must say, I pictured you to be older
(anyway, it's a compliment :) )
oh, and very nice pic by the way

You're welcome :) By icehouse do you mean the great snow castle in Kemi? I've never visited it myself (though I'd like to), but I'm sure it would be amazing. I don't even think it's that cold inside - not warm, of course, but at least not as cold as it is outside :)

DanielBenoit - your photo doesn't look bad at all! Maybe next time you'll have the courage to show us one where we can see all of your face :)

I believe you Anna, I really do :nod: Santa's site is very interesting and well designed. It has a really attractive interface. I need to ask, does Joulupukki really mean Santa Claus, as I have found on dictionaries?

Oh, I will begin writing a letter to him right away. If I'm ever to become a respectable pirate, I will need myself a brand new ship by next Christmas ;) :D

Janine, it is definitely LONG past time you got yourself some shiny new toy, and posted a photo of your lovely self as well! You're always so complimentary to everyone; now it's time you let us compliment you!

Welcome aboard, Daniel! Nice photo :)

Well, Joulupukki is the guy in the red coat who brings Christmas presents for the well-behaved children (and maybe well-behaved pirates too :D), so in that sense it does mean Santa Claus. Literal translation of "Joulupukki", however, would be "Christmas goat". Foreign Santa Claus was combined with traditional Finnish "nuuttipukki", which used to take Christmas away on 13th January, on the day of Nuutti (Finnish form of the name "Knut").

Now I have it all figured out, all I have to do is to be a well-behaved pirate (if such a thing is possible :p). Thanks for explaining :D

Thanks *Classic Charm*; you are always so darn sweet; but you are the one who is always so attentive in this thread and complimenting everyone. I fear I check in so sporadically, that I miss a lot of the photos and feel like I am slighting people. I usually only check the last two pages. Sorry to the others, I have missed commenting on. Someone mentioned Becca's horse photos. I will have to scan back to see them. Sorry, Becca.

eekkk...why does everyone want to see my ugly mug? I had to show someone my driver's license the other day - now that is truly a dreadful photo! I cringed and then I did laugh it off. Believe me it's not one of my best. I will have to have someone take my photo, hopefully someone good at portraits, if I can get a good shot. I mostly hate any photos of me. I am just not photogenic at all; never was. I actually think I do better in videos, since I don't have to pose and get all flustered and selfconcious. I usually don't know when the camera is rolling.
