Hallowe'en is hands down my favourite holiday. Who wouldn't love a holiday where you are supposed to defy social conventions and let out your inner *insert entity here* (devil, pussycat, monster, superhero, etc.)? I would have gone to shoot more of the neighbourhood, but wouldn't dare miss any of the trick-or-treaters at my own door. Had 29 this year...not a lot but up from previous years. Three very nice clowns admired my costume (a bumblebee that lost its stripes). I asked two kids if they were crazy-scientist-karate-kids, and they said yes, which leads me to believe that my guessing skills are quite good!

The moon...shot a while ago...but let's set up a mood here ok?

Just for fun...the house. That's me in the top window on the left.

Jack...fractalized. A new toy I've been playing with.

My poor little netbook is vehemently protesting all post-processing (I can't imagine how powerful an "atom" processor is...). Speaking of post-processing, I have an assignment due for my Photoshop class on Tuesday, which I was given 7 weeks ago...gotta get started on that right about now!

Hope everyone had a haunting Hallowe'en!

Hey guys...is anybody still out there reading this? If there is, I'll consider it a minor miracle (and owe you a huge thanks) since I've totally been neglecting my blog. Here's a composite I put together the other day--one shot from the garden and one shot from just outside my work. Nothing too special, but I've been thinking a lot lately about how I can make my work look different from the next person's. And I've set the bar pretty high for myself so that I won't post anything anymore unless I really like it.
I know I can't promise much....certainly not a photo a day like some people do...but I am going to try to be a little more consistent!
