We attended New York's 32nd Annual Village Halloween Parade for the first time this year. It was an amazing event and one that I highly recommend for everyone, whether you participate in costume or just attend as a spectator. And if you love to photograph people in every costume imaginable (and some that aren't), this is the place to be. We lucked out too, as the weather was great and we found a pretty good spot for viewing the festivities. We were standing on the east side of Sixth Avenue, between 17th and 18th Streets, quite close to where the media was and where all the spotlights were.

Though I wasn't able to get many of the shots I was hoping for - the downside of autofocus and a slow-acting camera - I was pleasantly surprised with the many that came out well, especially with subjects that are constantly on the move, except for the few that were nice enough to stop and pose for us - thank you. :-)

As always, advice, feedback, suggestions, and comments are all welcome. Or you could just sign our guestbook to let us know who you are or where you're from - it would be nice to "meet" you. And if you like the gallery, or a specific image, and feel it's worthy of a vote, please give it one. It would be very muchly appreciated. Thanks, and have a nice day!
