I’ve been looking back on all my portfolios and blog posts and decided to go about things a bit differently lately. It is thus that I give you Jess (my daughter) dressed up on Halloween. A bit of cool air for Halloween. just saying its breezy these days.
We usually started with the fall weather. Halloween was happening and we would have long discussions about what Jess wanted to be. For the first Halloween in Washington State I actually sewed a clown costume. After that I did not sew again. But we would narrow it down to three or four or five costumes and begin to look in thrift stores for parts of a witch or accident victim, a fairy princess, or a vampire. All pieces could be used again. We did not actually put the costume together until the day of Halloween after school was out. Jess and her boyfriend continued the tradition dressing up as Cheech and Chong. I always photographed Jess on Halloween which has now turned into a part of the Kid Pictures. Please go to the portfolio Kid Pictures to see photographs of Jess and the other kids we knew. There are more images but this is time sensitive and I am not in touch with my hard drive. Next year.
