I met Paris Hilton a couple of years ago in Oaxaca, Mexico.  She's quite scary.  Got a photo of her though.

There are times when the VUWS comes in handy ...



And a reversed lens on a Bencini Koroll S is just as good.

Really like everyone's pictures! I'm enjoying a lot the cemeteries photographs.
It's also amazing to see Paris Hilton wearing no makeup at all... that's the spirit of the Halloween!

Yes it's digital (sorry) but I just had to post this. It was Halloween, I was about to take a picture of that shop for my shopfront series and that guy walked out of the door!  :o :o How often does it work like that!

Ann, wonderful shots! That first one scares me the most. Its the mystery of not knowing what is behind the door and why part of it was left out. It really builds tension. Love that!

Andrea and Chris, wonderful and scary and romantic too.

Not quite ghouls or ghosties but if you came across any of this lot rampaging through your back garden you'd be mighty scared.

not sure that's actually spiders, or "tent worms" doing that work. still gross. somewhere online there is a photo series from i think a college campus that has a tent worm invasion and everything was covered, including bikes and cars.
