The 2011 LENSCRATCH Masks, Costumes, and Halloween Exhibition

Halloween happens to be one of my favorite celebrations. For the past two years, I have set up camp outside my house with a backdrop and camera and photographed every single tricker treater. I am total sucker for a kid in a costume...and any excuse to eat candy. I'm starting off the roster with photographs by my friend, Steven De La Cruz, who has a new series based on favorite horror films, and mine just happens to be The Shining.

Thank you to all the contributing photographers for their wonderful images and interpretations. I hope you have a wonderful Hallowed Eve, full of fun, treats, and a few good tricks.

Each photograph was more inspired by the one before it and the one after it. This is one spookily talented community. Somedays it seems like it is Halloween everyday but today is that special day when you get let your inner Cindy Sherman out. Thanks to Aline for always making our holidays fun and for making it worth it to be on Facebook today but making it worth it to be on Lenscratch everyday. Susan
