We don't usually do much for Halloween except maybe handing out candy to small neighborhood children, occasionally going to a Halloween party hosted by friends... nothing big.
One thing I really enjoy about October 31st is seeing all the little tots parading down the streets in their super hero and princess costumes, huge smiles on their faces, chocolate smudges smeared across their lips, carrying a bag of candy that weighs more than they do.
This year was extra special... at least it was for a camera nerd like me... :)
I got the privileged of possessing a Canon Rebel Xis for the whole weekend. The camera belongs to the person I take pictures for at FPD events, and he was so kind to let me keep it for the weekend, and let me tell you I was on cloud nine for the last couple days until I was forced to give it back.- Telephoto lens, manual zoom, auto focus...a camera nerd's dream... *harp music
So, My first thought was... Ok, I have this great camera... where do I even begin?
Well, my mom took me downtown to Ridge Avenue (the 'hoppin' neighborhood) on the night of trick-or-treat. There were t.o.n.s of people... so many that several police men were in need.
I felt like such a creeper with my huge camer snapping pictures... so I only took a few...
Next my mom took me to Washington Park to 'snap some pics'- which i will post later.
The weather was great, the night was fun.
After dinner at a deep-dish pizza restaurant downtown we ended the night with a show at the Grand Oprah House :)
Nothing too exciting, but something fun and out of the ordinary to enjoy!
Maddy, I forgot that you asked about my camera. I have a canon rebel. I'm glad you wrote this to remind me. Can't wait to see your other pictures. What kind of camera do you usually use?
