A Video Game Christmas

     I took this photo back in 2009, back when I did my three-part Winter Video Game Piano Medley. I hadn't seen the full-res image since then, and I recently found it while digging through my old operating-systemless laptop. I'm so glad I kept it around. Found a bunch of old pictures like this that I almost thought I'd never see again.
     So I went in, adjusted the lighting, and added a frost frame... you know, just for the hell of it. The medley took a while to get done - One, maybe two weeks during my free time. The whole process was fun to do... though when I wasn't playing, I was a tad anxious, hoping that my cat or someone didn't knock anything out of place :D  It's still one of my favorite piano vids I've done, along with my favorite Christmas picture that I've taken.
