12 Months of Photos, October: Dressed-Up
I barely got this picture of a friend dressed as Jack the Ripper as everyone was going home from my brother’s Halloween party, but it turned out surprisingly well! It wasn’t what I had originally envisioned for this entry, but sometimes good results come from the least expected places.
12 Months of Photos, October: Halloween/Fall
One day after work I noticed that the light was perfect, so I set out to find some pictures. I noticed this place while driving along the road, and ended up stopping at a bowling alley across the street and tramping down through the weeds to get this picture. It was well worth it, though (as you can see), and I think I was able to get over some of my hesitation to go places that might be a bit out of the way, too.
12 Months of Photos, October: Black
Finding a photo for “Black” was pretty difficult for me. Nothing came to mind. I realize I was probably limiting myself quite a bit in how I was approaching it, but acknowledging that didn’t help very much.
In the end, I settled for this self-portrait of my new camera. In retrospect, I’m a little underwhelmed by it, but oh well.
12 Months of Photos, October: Orange
I was walking back to my car after visiting my favorite Japanese restaurant when I came across these pumpkin lights in a yard on the other side of the street. Lights in my mind are more for Christmas than Halloween, but I do like these pumpkins.
12 Months of Photos, October: A Street Scene
This poor tree at Robert Morris University has suffered a terrible fate due to power lines. It’s just… so ridiculous-looking…
12 Months of Photos, October: Apples
My entire family, kids and all, went on an excursion to Triple B farms in Monongahela, PA to pick pumpkins and apples. It was a lot of fun!
12 Months of Photos, October: Bare Tree Branches
On my way home from a photo excursion after work, this sunset really called to me, so I pulled over on the highway and got some pictures. I got lucky with these trees being in just the right place.
12 Months of Photos, October: Leaves
My brother and his kids came over to our mom’s house one day to play in the leaves. It’s something of an annual tradition. The kids ganged up and battered me with piles of leaves as I tried to get some good pictures.
12 Months of Photos, October: Pumpkins at Night
My brother carved this pumpkin and left it on the kitchen table, so I co-opted it for a photo shoot. Unfortunately, about a week later, it rotted and slumped very sadly on the table (but alas, I didn’t think to get a picture until after it had been cleaned up).
Well, I’m a bit late posting them, and I didn’t find them all, but I think it’s an okay start! Let me know what you think. =)
