Mark and I put up his Space Tree. It is a very old tree. It is still in the original box and original packaging. It was quite an interesting tree to put together. The center is a wooden poll with holes in it. The aluminum was so funny and a little scratchy.
Up the center of the tree Mark strings a strand of Blue lights, silly guy. We put the lights in as we put the branches in. It was such a smart way to light a Christmas Tree, I'll have to remember the technique when putting up a fake tree.
The ornaments that Mark has are mostly antique ornaments. Ranging in the blues and greens. It is a sparsely decorated tree, but it looks perfect. The only thing I feel that it's missing is a tree topper of some kind. But I can't think of what should top a tree made of aluminum. It's just needs to be the right thing.
For Christmas I gave Mark a Pentex K1000, He was very excited. He's been using it here and there since he's gotten it. It's strange to think about shooting film when photography has turned to digital so much any more. I think the best part of film is the mystery of it. You don't even get a peak of what the pictures look like until they are developed.
And that is the adventure of putting up the Space Tree.
