I woke up on Haloween morning and looked out the window to see a gorgeous blanket of fog. I grabbed my Rollei and lit out for the fun. I saw this gate and immediatly was drawn to it. I thought of our upcoming move out of California back to Idaho.

 

 

Fog is the most rewarding weather condition to photograph in. I love it. I don’t get much fog in San Clemente so this was a real treat. It was in Idaho.

 

 

This was when it was breaking up and you could see the blue sky poking through. It was over at that point.

Jack and I discussed what he would be for Haloween for weeks. I suggested to him an old favorite of mine when I was a kid.

I never had much direction as a child around Haloween because the house was full of 8 kids. I was one of the oldest ones and there wasn’t time to dress each of us individually. My Mother usually got a package of Haloween makeup and I painted half of my face white and the other half black. Then I wore a black trenchcoat. Trenchcoats seemed to be much more abundant in Idaho in the 80’s. I was this person 3 years in a row.

Jack painted his hair black too. He looked great. I love the October sky too, its just so photogenic.

When it came right down to it Lily didn’t like her costume. She obliged me by opening her butterfly wings for a picture. She got a lot of candy though.
