Halloween 1993 - Present, including costumes and Jack O' Lanterns created by me.
|
Sadly, I haven't had time to do
anything creative to celebrate my favorite holiday. However, my
dad decided to dress up as Santa this year, something he used to do
often on Halloween, but hasn't done for quite a few years. I
figured I better capture a few pictures of the occasion.
Unfortunately, the settings were a bit off, and I didn't get as good of
pictures as I had hoped.

Halloween 2006 
This year, I didn't have the time to create a new Jack
O' Lantern, but I did make this animation of last year's.

Halloween 2005 
I made another Frank Zappa
pumpkin this year. I even brought it to "Zappaween",
an Ugly Radio Rebellion
show at Club Bart's in Ferndale, MI on October 30, 2005. I
decided to try the new style of carving again, this time adding even
more of a three-dimensional quality by carving deeper. This one
wouldn't keep a candle lit for more than a few minutes because there
wasn't enough air circulation---it required a battery-powered light
for a continuous display. It is amazing how many different
appearances the same jack-o-lantern can have by photographing it under
different conditions.

Halloween 2002 
For Halloween 2002, I didn't dress up, but I
did carve a Frank Zappa pumpkin in a totally different style than I've ever
done. Instead of making the cuts all the way through the hollow pumpkin,
this carving only removes outer surface of the pumpkin. When the light
shines through, it is actually shining through the pumpkin flesh. I took
three different photos of this pumpkin with different levels of outside light.

| For the Jack O' Lantern photograph above, this time I used an SLR camera and kept manually rewinding the film so that I could get many exposures on one frame. It is five different images of the same pumpkin. |
