It looks like my posts are not showing up in WordPress Reader lately, and I don’t know why, so who knows if anyone will even see this. Oh well.
A friend of mine has published a book of poetry using one of my photos! I love the way it looks and she is a wonderful poet, so if you can spare a few bucks please support her by buying a copy here.
Today is obviously Halloween, and one of the advantages of being at a private school is that we get to obnoxiously celebrate whatever holidays we want. Every year the school holds a costume contest for the teachers, so everyone dresses up elaborately. I am not going for anything elaborate, because I already get up way too early in the morning just to put on my regular face, (5:15 AM) and I’m not willing to get up any earlier for costume makeup application. Plus, I have to teach all day in whatever I wear so I want to be comfortable – so I just went with a hippie and invested in a really nice long blonde wig and some round glasses. Funny thing is, only the wig and round glasses were actually purchased specifically for the costume – the rest is my own clothes! My Birkenstocks, wide-leg jeans, and poncho are all already in regular rotation, so basically I’m going to school dressed like myself on a Saturday, just with a wig and different frames.
Weird shot of my wig and glasses for Halloween
The air show is Saturday, so I’ll be getting up at an ungodly hour to drive out to my father’s house and carpool on over there with him. Taking the “real” camera along this time, so here’s hoping I get a ton of good pictures. The weather is supposed to be perfection with the cool front that’s moving in today, which will certainly help, so I hope to have loads to edit and process in the coming week. It’s been awhile since I’ve had anything new to work with, so wish me luck!

How fun to dress up for Halloween. This year my costume is an overstressed and overworked woman. It’s my most authentic ever. Congrats to your friend. The cover is gorgeous!!!
Thanks! Yes it has been fun. The students are dressed up too.
Oh good, I will go look!
Have a great day tomorrow, good luck to your friend with her poetry book fabulous cover picture.
Thanks Charlotte!
Look at you eh LOL. I think it’s great people are using your photo’s that is some pretty cool stuff. I saw the photo you posted on FB. Loved the wig of course LOL. I also saw it in my email for your post.
Your post w was in my email this morning, so it’s kind of working. Your costume is fab. The hair and glasses really make the look. But like I said on your Flickr post , you look a bit too neat for a typical hippie type. Great pictures though.
