Boston. December, 1996


Generally I don’t like the holidays. But I do make exceptions. Witness this bit of Christmas whimsy, a photo taken at an AIDS ACTION Committee winter fundraiser at which all of the hotline volunteers offered their services. I was assigned to be the photographer. Though for some reason I seem to have an inordinate number of photos of myself with Santa’s assistants. Oh, well. I always liked that shirt.

  1. And to think this is the same sweet boy who was holding tinsel in his left hand and a glass ball in his right in that earlier Yuletide snapshot. Those innocent hands have become clinched fists in this one. The decor has changed too. Only the joyful smile is the same. One question: Is there any significance to the fact that the cap balls "dress left"?
