New York: Bowery and Bond Street (first); Union Square (2nd through 7th); Broadway and Spring (last)
Inspiration: The Halloween weekend party is now over and what a city-wide party it was! I am a bit of a Halloween hypocrite. I rarely dress up (sadly, I am a lazy procrastinator when it comes to Halloween costumes and holiday gifts) but I do love to check out the costumes on everyone else! Did you dress up? Now the streets are filled with Halloween litter . . . remnants of costumes that reigned the city streets for the three days (see first shot, which I took on Sunday after the Saturday night street party).
Love the last photo!
have a wonderful day!

It's rather funny. Every year, it feels increasingly like Halloween has become a winter carnival or mardi gras!

Love these. I'm the same way; I totally appreciate others dressing up, but I'm just way too lazy to do it myself. :)
I have a question about your b&w pics -- I saw that you use several Canon DSLRs. How do you convert your pics to b&w? Do you use the in-camera setting? Or do you it in post-processing? If so, do you have any tips about doing it -- actions, etc.? I love how yours turn out. :)
