@ The Neighbors on HELLoween!

Hey, look at this…another blog a mere week after the previous post. I think I’m starting to get the hang of this! :D
Each October I look forward to a few awesome things: fall colors, shooting, Oktoberfest, shooting, partying with friends and shooting. Workin’ up a new poster for the Studio D HELLoween Party is also always on the ‘to do’ list as well. And HELLoween poster shooting means it’s time to call in Monica. 2 years ago I snapped a couple of images of her being ‘The Corpse Bride’. There was no intended point to it other than I had a willing participant, workable location and a pretty rad wedding dress. One of the images from that shoot became a poster that in turn was used as the invitation to a little shindig we put together. Jump ahead to last year around the same time and I realized almost too late that I hadn’t done up a new invite yet. So I called up (yelled through our shared wall) Monica and snapped a superfast headshot in my living room and whamo!, new design. These first two images here are the party notices for ‘07 & ‘08.
Sheeeeeeeeeeee’s Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Here’s a few from a quick set we did today for this year’s poster. We planned very little about this before we began shooting…much like last year. ’Hey Monica, do you have a second?’…and boom, pictures were happening. One or more of these will likely be the new invitation when I have a few moments to work it up. So here’s to HELLoween and Monica…no trick, just treat!

Rock on!
