When I opened the package from my Secret Santa, the first thing I saw was a note:

"It's a photo I took in Spain with a giant camera I built out of a delivery truck"

My jaw hit the floor because I knew exactly what was in store. I saw an article a few months back about a crazy guy who builds what are, in essence, giant pinhole cameras in box trucks. Check out the story here:

Lo and behold, this guy sent me a print of some windmills in Spain. I wish it was one of the crazy 3.5'x6' prints, but I'm more than happy with the gorgeous framed by 4"x6" print I've got in front of me.

Shaun, I can't thank you enough. I love it. It's going on my wall as soon as I find the perfect spot for it.

To top this all off, Shaun was my second Santa. I got rematched a few days ago and the package showed up today, Christmas Eve. Made my day. I'm giddy.
