Christmas List

1. Dress shirts - 17" or 17½" neck, 33/34 sleeve
2. Dress pants: 34" waist, 33" inseam or unhemmed
3. Silk, satin, or similar boxer shorts, medium
4. Ties for work
5. A used medium-format camera that uses 120 film (this Yashica or something like it would be awesome, or something like this Soviet monster, or a really cool folding one like this). The only critera here are that it take 120 film and have some way of working with flash (hot-shoe or sync socket, it doesn't matter). 6x4.5 (645), 6x6 or 6x9 are all OK.
6. Gift certificates for Leo's or Vistek
7. Decent dress-socks that are long enough to go over the calf
8. A new wallet (black, of course)
9. Opus gift-certificates
10. Pre-matted, black frames of pretty much any size for 4"x 6" and up

On the expensive side:

1. A 22"-wide or larger monitor
2. Adobe Lightroom 2 (Windows, full version)
3. Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens for Olympus 4/3 (eg: here and here)

I can dream:

1. A new medium-format camera like a Mamiya 645AFD or Hasselblad H1
2. A medium-format digital back for the afrementioned camera
3. A Smart-Car
4. A place downtown big enough to have a workshop and a studio
5. Adobe CS4 (Windows, full version: Design Standard, Design Premium, Web Premium, or Master Collection)
