Halloween 2008

I'm not normally into the dressing up part of Halloween. Give me a pumpkin and I'll carve it, have kids come by and I'll give them candy, I'll even decorate my house ... but dressing up - no thanks! This year some friends decided to organize a "Ugly Prom Dress/Bridesmaid gown" outing. I've never been a bridesmaid so I volunteered to be the official photographer for the event. I got into character by wearing a black hat with a 'press' sign, a tan trent coat, a black tie, and carried my camera around my neck. You'll notice that some of the dresses are 'uglier' than others .. I especially liked the ruffles, butt bow, and lace that two of the dresses were covered with. We ended up going to a club in downtown DC and while I took pictures we were all too busy talking to focus on real photography! Some pics below:
