Photoics. Welcome to Photoics. I'm Mr. Daps. And
0:37
I'm Clocky. And we're so excited that you're here for our very special um I
0:43
don't have a good name for it. It's our Christmas episode part one. Holiday spectacular. Christmas episode.
0:48
Yes, that's that's what we're going the the crazy Christmas holiday spectacular
0:53
2025. But this is the first of two. We are going to have two holiday episodes
0:59
this year and it's going to be a lot of fun. I don't know how know how it's going to be fun because I haven't seen the pictures yet, but um it's going to
1:05
be fun. Which means before we get into the fun, what should people do, Clocky? Well, definitely if you you aren't
1:12
subscribed to this channel, subscribe. If you're not if you're on Spotify or Apple Music, make sure to hit uh the
1:19
five star reviews. Those always help get our word out. We've had a lot of Actually, this is weird. We're seeing
1:24
each other not in person. This is the first episode in three episodes a while we haven't we haven't done at the park.
1:30
Um but we will do more of those. I think they were pretty fun. But uh you know if you like the at the park that's fun. If
1:36
you like the other stuff just share what we do. Um and that always helps us just gain more audience and allow us to share
1:42
these vintage photos with everyone because and I think everyone's going to enjoy this week's episode for sure.
1:49
I think so too. And uh we enjoy sharing it with you and it's a surprise for us half the time. Maybe not as much for you
1:55
cuz you picked the photos. But um it is a fun adventure as we go.
2:00
Okay. Because you don't know what I'm going to say. I don't Well, and also sometimes when I look through my photos, even even today I was like, "Oh, yeah. I
2:06
had too many photos." I start looking through I go, "Oh, there's a really good theme here." So, uh I hope everyone
2:12
enjoys Christmas 66. Christmas 66. Which is amazing. If we'd
2:18
have been smart, we would have gone ahead and like researched what was happening in the world in 1966. But uh
2:25
you know who does that? Next year. Yeah, maybe we'll come back. Christmas in ' 66 and 2026. That sounds
2:33
like a good episode title, right? Yeah, I'll have more photos by then. Absolutely. All right. Should we look at
2:38
some photos? Yeah, let's look at some photos. I am going to share.
2:47
There we go. Here is our first photo. the the photo
2:53
you would popping up the photo you would see walking into the park. It's a very common photo.
3:00
Yes, definitely taken from the train station. The train station. Yeah.
3:06
And you could get this photo today. It would look a little bit different, but you could take this picture today cuz
3:12
the the horserawn collie trolley stops there. The uh the Christmas tree is still there. The
3:18
the uh flag would still be at the top maybe. Correct. The only thing you would have more of is strollers and people.
3:25
There are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
3:30
So empty. Eight. Eight people. And I think two of them are cast members.
3:36
And look at all of the benches, right? There's more benches maybe. 1 2 3 4 5 6
3:44
7 eight. There's more benches than people. There's more benches than people, which is kind of amazing. There's less garbage cans than people
3:50
cuz I count one I don't. Is there one up in the corner? Yeah, three. I count three.
3:55
So, not a record breaker. I'm trying to figure out what this is. There's a cart over by what is the Main
4:03
Street Hotel and which was probably uh was that the music hall that was sold the music hall in ' 66.
4:10
But there's a weird wheel car that's probably janitorial or custodial. Maybe. I'm having a hard time seeing what it
4:16
is, but I believe you. Oh, we can zoom. There we go. Thank you. There you go. Oh, yeah.
4:23
It does look like the ones that used to follow parades back in the day where they had to follow the horse to clean up
4:29
after the horse. Do you remember those? Could be that that maybe not remember those, but aware of those.
4:34
Aware of those. Neither of us are that old, I guess. But, um, it is interesting how green
4:40
things are, too. Like the green is really popping at me with the even the benches are brighter green. Like they're
4:47
more evergreen now, I guess. And that's kind of interesting. And then how bright the green is in of Emporium on the roof.
4:53
Oh yeah. And less flowers. So we have less flowers in the in the green spaces
4:59
under the trees. It's mostly grass. The other thing I think that's worth pointing out though is look at the tree.
5:07
Like it's got is it is it flocking? Is that what they call it when they put the fake snow on? Mhm. Flock tree.
5:13
Yeah. It's a real tree at this point cuz it's 1966. Looks about the same size as the tree we
5:19
have now. Other than it is skinnier a little bit. Yeah. I'm trying to decide
5:26
if it's as tall. Like I I'm betting it is, but it it just having stood there a
5:31
few times. Um the other thing I'm curious about is looking at the Matterhorn.
5:36
Mhm. Do I see something on top of it? That is the star of the matter horn. One of my
5:42
And that happens to be one of your favorite things. Is that correct? it it at at Christmas time if we could have
5:47
one thing back. Actually, if we could have one thing back, it would be the people mover. If we could have two things back, it would be the people
5:53
mover and having the star on top of the matter horn. I just think it's a nice touch. It makes it makes a matter horn a
5:59
tree. Why not? Like, and it's it's one of those random things that you would never see anywhere else.
6:06
So, I think it's a fantastic thing. I am still geeking out about how empty Town
6:12
Square is, though. And looking at the light, you don't think it's that early or it doesn't look super early in the
6:18
day cuz no, I'm not seeing shadow. Like to me, this almost looks midday. Looking at the lack
6:24
of shadow, it's hard to say we're going to have more. This is all from one trip when uh
6:29
these are slides from 66 uh that were actually developed in December of 66. So, this would have been early December.
6:35
Uh but actually, what you were just at Disneyland this weekend, it wasn't that
6:41
crowded in town square. There was no room for anything in town
6:46
square this weekend other than the candlelight processional which filled everything. Yeah, it's
6:53
weird to think of that because there was a big sound booth there and chairs and all of that stuff and where we're
6:58
standing, we couldn't even stand this last weekend because there was a stage. Yeah.
7:03
Other fun thing to look at, and I saw this in other photos, and I saw this in other photos that we're not going to look at today are these right here. Mhm.
7:14
These I believe are cameras. Oh, are they?
7:20
So, the other photos I have, they are in similar locations and they're definitely not lights. They're definitely cameras
7:28
as if they were going film the parade or film at the
7:35
huh. I mean, oh, that's that's another this is this is an interesting one to do, especially as we're coming up to the
7:41
15th. This was December 66. Yeah. So, this is right before Walt died. Yeah.
7:48
That's That's a little bit eerie. And why did we pick 66? No.
7:53
And they're on the left, too, aren't they? Is that what I see? There's one over here as well. So, are you sure they're cameras or are
7:59
they lights? I'm I'm pretty sure they're cameras. Uh, we can we can do it. We've
8:04
already got a bonus photo for this episode, but we can add another bonus photo for context, but I believe they're cameras because there's another one
8:10
here. And if there was if there were gonna be lights, I think there would be more here at parade exit.
8:18
Well, and you would think there'd be more like horizontally. Like they go
8:23
wider, right? Like I don't know cuz they look like spot. Oh, wait.
8:29
You don't suppose they were getting ready for uh candlelight and those are spotlights? Could be. I don't know the dates of
8:37
candlelight in December. I mean, it could be before or after. Um, right.
8:42
But those could be spotlights possibly because that would actually make sense.
8:48
Although, the one that looks like it's above kind of where the uh music shop is now, that looks like it's aiming down towards
8:54
the street, doesn't it? Right. This is fascinating. So, if you know anything about this, we're looking at
9:01
you, Doug. Um, we would love to know what you think or know these either cameras or lights are.
9:11
Huh. Would there This is a good candle light question since it just happened.
9:16
Yeah. Would there have been a banner for candlelight? Cuz I don't see a banner. Um, if I feel like if there was, it
9:23
would be behind where we took this picture. Okay. cuz like you turn the only banners really are on like the
9:30
speakers and then also there's one up on the the train station itself kind of behind the choir.
9:36
I was just thinking about a a cross banner like it would say like coming soon or something like that over here.
9:41
They would have that. I don't I don't know about that. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's a good question too.
9:46
I also love the garland going from I do too. And I actually really love as
9:55
now that we're zoomed in a little bit further, the it looks like there's red ornaments on the tree.
10:00
Like that contrast is really pretty.
10:05
That's fun. I'm curious what the what the garland idea was there. That's
10:10
different. Well, and I also would be curious if it went across Main Street back then because, you know, that's always a big deal now.
10:16
Oh, I hope we have a Main Street photo. Me, too. All right. Here's
10:22
See what's next. Oh boy, there's a main street. Oh, there we go. So, here we have that
10:29
the the ca camera light thing. Yeah, I can't tell. So,
10:37
it looks to me in this shot more like a spotlight, right?
10:43
I love that tree. So, the other photo I have definitely is a camera, but that
10:48
you're right. That one, that one might be a spotlight, but that tree is amazing. Star at the top. Um, it also looks like it confirms there
10:54
was garland across Main Street back then. I think I see that on the left there with bells instead of wreaths.
11:01
I kind of like that for one, and two, I like how it it loops lower.
11:07
Like now it's not quite as big of a loop. And uh that's kind of fun as well.
11:12
It's also interesting how big the trees are in town square.
11:19
Like when you look at those, those aren't that different than what there's there today. This is 66. So this would
11:25
have been 10 years of growth. Mhm. Also still pretty empty. And then now
11:31
that we see the shadows, this is definitely morning. Yeah.
11:37
So do you think this picture was taken within minutes of the first show uh p picture?
11:42
Likely. Okay. As as we go to the next photo, there's there's a lot that hovers around here. I don't think they took that photo on
11:48
their way on their way out. And I would assume if you took it on your way out, there would be more people leaving.
11:55
Yeah. Um, could we zoom in on that person in the middle towards like in the middle of the street also?
12:01
It'd be the third per Yeah, that one. Yeah. I was more just looking. I'm like, we
12:07
got a buzz cut on the left. Looks like a buzz cut on the right. Interesting. Also, they have ropes around the tree,
12:15
right? So, you couldn't get too close to the tree? Probably because it was real. But yeah,
12:22
I also love Is there a guy in a jacket or something off by the magic shop? There is. There's a guy in the jacket by
12:28
the magic shop. I also like being able to see what is this. The tobaconist. Nice. Right there. I wish we could read.
12:36
Maybe you can. What's on the cinema? Edgar Kennedy.
12:42
Hm. Interesting. Let's see what else we Oh, the other
12:48
thing I noticed were these here. Maybe those are lights. Possibly. I don't
12:54
think they're snow machines. If only they knew about Snope back then,
13:00
right? I feel like Walt would have liked Snope.
13:07
There we have all the benches. But yeah, afternoon the tree. It's
13:13
interesting too that um the emporium roof does not look as green in this
13:19
shot. In this shot. Yeah. Huh. Okay. And then take the next Oh,
13:25
there you go. Over here. You can see the Hills Brothers Coffee.
13:31
Uh can you Are those chairs underneath? Those are chairs underneath because that would have been the the restaurant. Okay, there we go. Yeah.
13:39
I was trying to tell if they were over there or were they in the town square and it was a band concert that was
13:44
coming up or something. Oh, no. They're they're love. They're at a distance. Yeah. I do love once again more benches cuz I
13:53
feel like was it Project Stardust or Yeah, Project Stardust where they got rid of all the benches at Disneyland.
13:58
And I feel like that's something like it doesn't necessarily impact me when I go to Disneyland, but when I've taken my
14:05
parents to Disneyland, that's when I'm like, "Oh, we need more benches." Oh, yeah. Be great to have a sit down.
14:11
Well, and they're they're not spring chickens and and they just need breaks a
14:16
little bit more often than we do. You know, someday we'll get there. And um and the lack of benches was quite
14:23
noticeable the last couple times they've come, but All right. Well, that's cool. Next photo.
14:30
Let's get right up there. Yes.
14:35
So she holding Oh, that's the ticket book and a map. Okay.
14:42
Wearing some sunglasses dressed in all yellow. Very very 60s. That is so iconic.
14:53
Oh, you know what's interesting too is back then they didn't have which we already knew. There's no fence around
15:00
the tree either, right? So like it's under the tree now I think. right now, but there year round there's a fence
15:07
around that part of the Christmas tree point, I guess we call
15:13
it. Look at those those ornaments, right? Those are almost the size of her
15:19
head. It also feels almost like it should be
15:26
in in like the Grinch or something. Like the colors and the and the the curve on
15:31
it. I mean, this is this is likely a real tree. Yep. But the curve on on it.
15:37
Also, if you look closely, and I noticed this on one of the other photos, that line right there is the wire holding the
15:42
tree up. Oh, I remember when they used to do that. Yeah, I totally remember
15:48
that. This one was supposed to probably disappear, but I've seen other ones. There's other photos I've seen where they put garland on it. They don't hide
15:54
it. They're like, "Yep, there's a wire. It holds up the tree. Otherwise, it would fall." This is This is important. Yeah. This is
15:59
This is safety. Ocean before ocean. You're right. It's interesting too that
16:04
I think all of the ornaments are just the ball ornaments back then, whereas now you have different types of
16:13
ornaments. You have a couple different shapes. You you've got the the kind of the teardrop. Oh, okay. Here as well. The other thing
16:19
is fun is this ornament is sitting on the tree, not dangling from the tree. So, there's
16:25
or ornaments on top of the tree as well as they really tried to make it look like
16:31
it's snow, didn't they? Right. It really is pretty though. Like, it's
16:37
kind of a different Can you imagine that at night when when they do their little snow moment?
16:42
Like, that would be pretty epic, right? And then
16:47
Yeah. And then they do have the gifts underneath just like they do today, which is something that's continued on.
16:54
You just don't see a person in a mustard orange uh or mustard yellow uh dress in front of it anymore. We can make that
17:01
maybe on dapper day. Yeah. All right. What's next? All right. Let's follow her to the
17:08
castle. Oh, nice. Wow. Again, empty. And this is this is
17:15
morning. You can see her shadow. You can see his shadow. This is sometime in the morning. We've got ivy all over one side
17:21
of the castle. The side of the castle the Ivy likes to grow on the ivy on the other side. And then one of my favorites that I love pointing out
17:28
is the tree. Trees and the moat. That is so cool. If I could bring three
17:33
things back, it would be the people mover. That's number Well, and and the uh wreaths on the banners are fun, too.
17:39
Yeah. Little wreaths on the banners, the garland, the the what looks like real garland. I mean, this is pre We need to
17:46
put We need to put everything on the castle. This is like Oh, no. The castle gets some greenery. Well, isn't it
17:53
interesting too looking at the castle is in some ways it looks so much more authentic. Is that a good word? Um, like
18:01
you could imagine that being pllopped down in Germany or something, right? And on the flip side, I don't know if
18:07
it's the way the picture was taken or just the way the area around the castle
18:13
used to be, it looks so much closer to the castle from that spot than you'd find today.
18:18
Mhm. cuz when you're when you're in that spot today, it does feel like you're a little bit further like the castle's a
18:25
little bit further back. And I'm wondering if part of that is the color of the brick underneath or the whatever the stones are underneath. And then also
18:32
the um the bridge is smoother now. Like they don't have
18:38
the stones, I don't think. Like they've made them look more
18:43
they're different now. They don't look as big or something. Right. But it's interesting because it does
18:49
feel like the castle is closer right up to her to me as I'm looking at this
18:54
picture. And I love that guy's suit. Well, it looks like he has a vest on too, right? This is a cast member. If if
19:02
I if I'm reading this Oh, you're right. That's the old,
19:07
you know. Um the wide ones. Yeah, the wide Yeah, the wide one. And then Oh, so he's wearing
19:14
like the the Eisenhower jacket. Yeah. I don't know if that's officially the name, but like it's the Ike jacket from
19:21
World War II where they're kind of like a they're almost like a um like a jean
19:26
jacket, but not a jean jacket. Like they're they're they're a heartier. Yeah. Work wear. That's awesome. It
19:34
looks like there might be somebody right in the middle of the Yeah. Right there. Yeah.
19:40
Entrance to the castle. The carousel. It's interesting how much brighter her dress is in this photo too,
19:47
right? Like you can really tell the difference of where the sun is
19:52
cuz this I feel like color-wise. This is closer to the first picture, right? Like the colors are popping more. The
19:59
Yeah. And you can see the tree on the left side too. Yeah. The tree on the left over here. Also, uh the skyway
20:06
over here on the far right. So is that number four? If you could bring a fourth thing. Yeah, I I like the skyway. I I loved the
20:13
skyway as a kid. There's something I would bring back before that, but I don't know what it would be.
20:19
Okay, I'll go or the sea pirate ship or
20:24
or because we talked about on the last episode the Fort Wilderness and having
20:31
food on the Yeah, I would put like a complete Yeah. with a roof. Oh,
20:37
yeah. I agree with that. So, the bonus photo for this, since there was another photo of the castle,
20:44
just kind of show you where the trees were. Here is a second photo that shows you where the trees are. Well, that's fun.
20:50
With the castle, castle's obscured because of the because of the green trees, but the trees in the moat. You
20:56
can see both of them. You can see someone now in red over in the corner. And then this weird fencing over here
21:04
that I assume was either a temporary fence for something. That looks
21:10
that looks like the walkway back around the side of the castle. Was that not there? No, that would that would be there cuz
21:16
you would still have access to the wishing well and everything and the So, you suppose back then they're like,
21:22
"Oh, this makes it more themed if it's red
21:28
maybe." Or is it is it temporary or is it because it looks iron from my right
21:35
like that looks pretty permanent to me but I could be wrong.
21:40
Could be the I can't zoom as well as you can. The thing Yeah. The thing I'm seeing on
21:47
it is it doesn't look as smooth. Okay. I can't see that. I just see the up and downs basically.
21:52
Yeah. But we do see now we see the skyway buckets or the gond.
21:58
The other thing I would add to that is there's not a lot of fences back then. Like it was pretty much just a curb.
22:04
So I bet you're right because um you think there's not a fence around
22:10
even the tree. It's just a rope, right?
22:16
It's fun seeing the castle like this because it's more faded. It almost has a more realistic feel to it, doesn't it?
22:23
Right. doesn't look as freshly made. Yeah. Like it's lived there for a while.
22:29
It's been that, you know, like everything else kind of grew up around this thing that's been there for a long
22:35
time. We have the the Siri wagon still going
22:42
and then the chicken pirate ship. It is interesting though for how different things are in almost what 60
22:49
years. Um, it is very similar to what we see today from this viewpoint, right?
22:57
Except for this. Hang on. This
23:02
that's part of the C. That's got to be part of the castle. I think that's a turret in the back. Yeah. And then so this would be further
23:07
back cuz that's the uh King Arthur's carousel tent pole. Yeah. So like the stuff behind it
23:13
different, but like the castle itself and the the courtyard and the walkways around and even the trees are similar
23:19
size now to what they were, which they haven't always been cuz you
23:24
think of other times when they've gotten really big, but um that's kind of cool. That one's a fun one. All right, we're
23:31
we're going to see some Christmas in this next one, but from a distance. So the next one's a real picture, not a
23:37
bonus, right? This is a real Yeah, this this is a real photo. And this looks like it is this from uh the Mark Twain.
23:43
This is from the Mark Twain. And we see the Star of the Matterhorn. And then I love this.
23:49
We see I would say this the the difference now is we see a completely non-decorated for Christmas
23:56
Frontier Land. Well, and look at how different Frontier Land looks.
24:03
Like it's very it's like I knew immediately where we were standing even
24:08
like I can picture where we're standing on the Mark Twain because this is a spot we've stood countless times, right?
24:14
But like you got the little gazebo in the corner, how open that mill area is where you'd go into Rancho and there's a
24:21
bunch of chairs now and tables. The little park is is
24:30
benches. Yeah, there's not a little stage there yet. There's still there there's still
24:36
benches. Yeah. Huh. More benches.
24:41
And then Yeah, there's no there's no big thunder. Yeah. Yeah. There's no there's no peaks over
24:47
here. It's really pretty though.
24:53
This is not a view you see super often often uh pre
24:59
Big Thunder. I feel like Yes. And I would also say this, it even now
25:05
because it is outdoor vending, outdoor vending, a stage area that's kind of
25:11
enclosed, there's nothing to take a photo of over here other than the mass the castle and the matter horn.
25:17
Yeah, cuz that is a fun shot to take is when you're shooting through and you get the castle and the matter horn in the background.
25:23
It also feels more green on the right and I'm trying to decide what that is behind the gazebo.
25:28
Yeah, that dark space. What is that? Is that just trees? Just trees and tables.
25:34
The future home of the Halloween tree kind of. That would But that would be even further further to the right.
25:39
Yeah, that'd be further. They do have poinsettas around that little gazebo. Oh, there you go. There's some There is some Christmas. And I'm also I feel like
25:47
this is a good picture to look for. We have like three people in it. But uh do we see garbage cans?
25:55
One. Okay, there's one. It's hard. It is brown. So, that's consistent with
26:00
today. Is that the only one we see? Huh?
26:07
I feel like there has to be one up in the back somewhere. But, Right. Well, also you have this is this
26:14
is the restaurant at this point. So, they'd be closer to they'd be closer in this, you know, tree bushed area.
26:22
It's interesting because in some ways this looks more frontier. In other ways it looks less than today cuz this feels
26:28
more like this feels like it could be Zoro or something you know you can imagine when
26:35
that would happen whereas today's Frontier Land feels more generic like
26:40
every western right
26:46
and I feel like today like they've they've gotten better with cement or or whatever it is they use for the ground
26:52
because today's feels more uh like It could be dirt that was just packed down or what? Like
26:58
Right. It looks a little bit better that regret. But I love seeing the old uh the old town on the left more.
27:06
Old Rainbow Ridge. Mhm.
27:11
That looks really cool.
27:17
Fun. Fun times. All right. What is next? Well, next that that was five. Oh, no.
27:25
Now I have to choose. Oh, it's a hard one, too. This one. It is a hard one.
27:30
Yeah. For being all for one year, all from one family's vacation.
27:37
Can I just say that has to have been one of the best days at Disneyland ever. When you look at how few people are in
27:42
the park, you could I guarantee you that she used every ticket in that ticket book because you could.
27:49
Yeah. Like that's amazing. And I can maybe think of one or two
27:55
times when the park was even remotely close to that empty. And usually it was late at night and during a heavy
28:01
rainstorm. All right, you get to pick first. Which
28:07
one is your favorite this week? Ooh, man.
28:17
I'm going to go with this first photo. Nothing like seeing an empty
28:22
main street. And then also just the the detail of being able to see the Matter Horn Castle or the Matter Horn Star.
28:31
But the Matter Horn Star is in that last Frontier Land picture. It is in the last one, but also this one has more garbage cans. So
28:37
true. We had big garbage cans and possibly a horse cleanup cart.
28:43
Is that what we used to call a pooper scooper? Pooper scooper. Yeah, I think that's what we used to call them. Um, I'm I'm gonna go with
28:49
this picture also. I I think there's something so magical about that first
28:54
moment you walk into Main Street, you see the tree and if the horse and the trolley are there extra m like it brings
29:01
everything to life and the fact that there's just not a lot of people there makes it even better. And I would put as
29:07
a very close second that Frontier Land picture because that was that was very good. Also,
29:19
that one like that that one is such a unique perspective of Frontier Land back
29:24
in the day because usually you see I feel like the common picture is from the other direction,
29:30
right? Like you would see, you know, I'm thinking of the Zoro one when they brought him in or you'd see a lot of the
29:37
golden horseshoe like or you'd see the entrance of right
29:42
or it'd be from the part of Rivers America where you see the Mark Twain coming towards you of that frontier land
29:48
which obscures all this back stuff. So this is a really nice photo of Rainbow Ridge and the mine train and
29:53
kind of seeing where their that queue was. Yeah. and and it it just gives a nice perspective of Frontier Land that you
30:00
don't often get to see. I love it.
30:05
I'm still sticking with the first picture, but if the first picture weren't there, this would be a home run.
30:10
This is the problem when we have two really good pictures in in one episode. That's a Christmas gift in itself,
30:16
right? That is Oh, man. All of these photos are great. And there's other I was going to say and there's other episodes where I'd
30:23
have been like, "Oh, the lady in mustard." Like I mean, if something was happening to
30:29
her, she might have ended up being my choice cuz I do love a good story happening in a photo, which oddly
30:35
enough, both photos that I really like, there really isn't a story happening. It's kind of just a moment in time.
30:41
Well, let's unless that security come away. I was like, this one, this one could be a story, you know. was interesting that
30:47
that the camera focused on him and not her. That she's out of focus in this photo.
30:53
Probably because they focused on the uh the castle. The castle. Yeah.
30:59
I mean, that would have been so hard to do back then. Like you think of photography how much
31:04
it's different then versus today. And the fact that you had you had you may take two photos here. May
31:13
may probably one. Probably one. I can remember even as a kid where you'd stand and you'd wait for grandpa or dad to
31:20
take the one photo and you had to stay completely still and you couldn't goof off and whatever because that would ruin
31:26
the photo and that was that was a no no which is weird because you think of
31:31
that's something that will probably never be an issue again. Yeah. Well, and and also if you notice, you would now
31:38
you're able to see and go, "Oh, that photo was bad. Let's take another one." Or, "Don't worry, I just kept my
31:44
finger on the button and I have 20." Yeah. Exactly. In one second. In one second.
31:50
You were blinking. Not Not during the 300 photos I just took.
31:55
Exactly. Exactly. All right. Well, we have made it through another Photo
32:02
Nix episode. This is our first of two holiday episodes. If all goes according
32:08
to plan and we can make all of our schedules work, we're going to have a very special guest on the next episode
32:13

32:19

32:25

32:33

32:40

32:47
a half an hour geeking out over this picture. Um so amazing. It It's We might even do research ahead
32:54
of this one. I don't know. We probably won't, but probably not. But we Well, think about
33:01
it. A person can dream. Yes, exactly. Um
33:06
