This was a super fun endevor for me to take on this halloween season. I used to shoot film in highschool and a few years after, so I decided to break out my old Canon AE1 camera and a roll of film for some daytime shots. I used to use Lomogroaphy films and the classic Kodak Portra 400 but I decided to try this new Cinestill 400 film, it's 36 exposures and has a slight purple hue to the shadows, I think the photos came out pretty neat. I did some post editing in Lightroom because a few were a bit underexposed but that could just be the auto-aperture on my lens, which I haven't cleaned since 2017, who knows... I hope you enjoy these, I love them a lot! - Canon AE1 Camera (1976) / Cinestill 400 35mm film

Here's some nightime photos of my 2023 haunt. This year's theme was American Witchcraft, inspired by early American witch lore. I wanted it to be super rustic and rough around the edges, with the witches displaying any past trespassers like scarecrows, as they brew up a fresh batch of flying ointment. We had an amazing night, we went through five bags of candy and the kids seemed to enjoy it a ton, with the little ones having a bit of trepidation, walking up to the porch. It was a chilly night, I had campfire fragrance in the fog machine and spiced pumpkin tealights in all of the jack-o-lanterns, everyone loved the smell, telling us how much it added to the display. All of the props are handmade by me, I've been working on it all year and it turned out better than I couldve imagined, I had a permanent grin on my face ( under my mask, of course ) because it was honestly, very magical. Seeing everyone enjoy the props makes it all worthwhile, and sharing the halloween magic ...
