To get into the Halloween mood the other night my family and I watched a documentary about famous hauntings through history. Before we had finished watching it the power suddenly went off, leaving us in a dark house with the residue of the hauntings vivid in our minds. What a perfect addition to the evening. We lit candles while Bob searched for flashlights.
I had forgotten how much I love the amber glow of candlelight. My daughters explored the house by candlelight discovering a mysterious new hole in the basement ceiling. Meanwhile I entertained myself with my camera, curious to see if what it could do in low light.
My subjects were paper ghost decorations that Allen and I had made for Sarah's birthday party. Somehow it seem like the right time to take pictures of these, since they were the only real spooks that show up.
