During the Christmas season, I was impressed with a mans decorations (Vaughn Premo)  in the Dover Shores subdivision of Orlando.  After speaking with him, I was honored to be welcomed to his home for a photo shoot of Santa interacting with his decorations.

Sometimes we have the best opportunity for a custom picture by using what is around us.  As Santa, I look at what is around me and try to interact with the decorations. From there I often look at how to use them for a special handmade award to fit the occasion.

Jan 05, 2021 I was honored to receive my 25 year certificate as a mason at Eola Lodge. After receiving the award I had to honor Paul Rhodes for his service to the lodge during a pandemic.  Enclosed is the status of the award I made to make his year memorable.

In dealing with a-fib since 2012, I had to find a way to honor the cardiologist team of the Trina Hidalgo Heart Care Center. It’s a part of Advent Health. . The Heart and EKG pattern seemed perfect for a Valentines day card too. They have kept me on a short leash as I deal with my medical condition

From Christmas to Valentines day I have had fun tailoring these Kodak moments into something special

From the Masonic lodge to my cardiologist, I have been able to create and share something special with those around me that you could not find in a store.

These photos are hand made by Santa and his special elves.  No copying for commercial use without  asking first.

I never tried to make a name for myself. When I give back, I have fun doing this anonymously or as a special secret gift giver, Santa Claus.
