Another Santa character at Santarchy 2004

It is getting very close to Christmas and I can feel in everywhere, on the way to work, at work, on the way home, at the shopping center ...
As it is getting closer and closer to Christmas day, I will try to post some photos that helps waking up the spirit of the Holiday in your. And the real reason is I shoot many photos at the Santarchy in San Francisco and it make no sense posted them after Christmas.
This Santa character is very friendly, he poses for me to shoot. And the Canon 17-40mm F4 L lens is very sharp and fast.
