Photo Friday -- 'Food'

I guess the theme is appropriate enough for the coming week.

My entry, however, is not so much.

Noodles at f/1.4

Other entries a Photo Friday.

SPC -- Upside Down #3

Fragile

For now, I'm too tired to explain the 'through the viewfinder' look of this.

So, if you're interested, check Andrea's explanation. Even if you're not interested, I recommend checking it out, she does a really good job of explaining it.

I'm doing something similar, only the twin lens reflex camera I'm using (borrowed from a friend) has a 5x5 grid on the ground glass viewfinder.

Halloween 2008

Just a couple days late on this.

Mainly just a few pictures to share.

This was the year for recycling Halloween costumes.

It was also the year for multiple choice costumes:

Over the course of several Halloween parties this year, we had a:
a.) dog
b.) cat
c.) Dumbo
d.) Indian Princess
e.) witch
f.) All of the above

*****

Halloween Puppy
This was his costume for last year. He tolerated keeping the hood on this year only slightly better than last year.

*****

Halloween Dumbo
We inherited this costume from my cousin whose boys are a few years older than Harrison. Thanks, Kris!

Dumbo is thirsty!

*****

Halloween Cat
We've had Hannah's cat accessories for several years now. Seems like she's been a cat at some point during the time of Halloween just about every single year!

*****

Halloween Indian Princess
Christy made this costume (the dress at least -- the vest, headdress and purse were purchased) several years ago. We were shocked to discover that it still fit her!

This is what Hannah wore to her friend's Birthday/Halloween party on Halloween night. I tagged along as a chaperone, but it was her first traditional 'Halloween' party. They did the ol' bowl of eyeballs, bowl of brains/guts, etc, they bobbed for apples, went on a haunted hayride, etc. She had a good time.

*****

We got the dress and hat from Goodwill for a buck fifty. This seemed to be the costume about which Hannah was least excited, but I was the most excited. I managed to get her to 'pose' for me for a couple of decent shots.
Halloween Witch
This is her 'mean/scary' face. :-)


Halloween Witch (bw)
...and I liked this one with her just peeking out from under the brim of her witch hat.

*****

I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

SPC -- 'Upside Down' #1

It's a new month and a new theme at Self Portrait Challenge.

The theme: Upside Down

Seemed appropriate to have something a bit more challenging after October's 'gimme' theme.

Should be interesting.
