It’s Travel Photo Thursday, which coincides with Halloween. I decided to add photos from a shoot I did with la Ni\u00f1a<\/em> in her costume (not very travel-ey but certainly photo-focused).<\/p>\n

This year’s costume comes from Halloween City<\/a> in Mountain View, CA. The theme is a sorceress. We couldn’t find all the pieces in one package so we put it together; the dress is a witch dress, the cape is a modified adult velvet cape (the kid’s ones were too flimsy). The book is from Office Depot and the wand is a movie replica of Hermione’s wand from Harry Potter, which I managed to snag when I worked for Warner Bros.<\/p>\n

Shoot location was in Calgary and the camera used was a Canon EOS 5D Mark II. I was really unhappy with the quality of photos that came out of last year’s shoot<\/a> (Canon 40D). But this year the photos exceeded all expectations. <\/p>\n

Also, as an added bonus, la Ni\u00f1a<\/em> wrote a poem for halloween that she wanted to share with everyone:<\/p>\n

Halloween Poem by la Ni\u00f1a<\/em> (Age 8)<\/strong><\/p>\n

When phantoms flood the sky
\nAnd all the leaves are always dry<\/p>\n

When all the monsters come out to scare
\nAll will run everywhere<\/p>\n

When you look into the sky
\nYou will see a witch passing by<\/p>\n

And when you look into the moon
\nThe skeletons will start dancing soon<\/p>\n

When you show up at a house begging for a treat
\nYou will greet the strangers that you meet<\/p>\n

For that is Halloween what you’ve just seen
\nHappy holidays for those who need<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
