"...this is Halloween, this is Halloween!"🎃

Happy Halloween, Steemit! It was another successful year for the @kommienezuspadt family in Minneapolis. For the last few years, I’ve gone as a skeleton. This year, I upgraded to a Bane mask. It’s easy. I don’t even have to change anything. I’m a short, stocky guy with a shaved head, and seamlessly fits in to my comic book enthusiasm. @vermillionfox worked tireless on an InuYasha costume for @guthrie and it came out incredible! She went as the most iconic of stories in Junji Ito’s Uzumaki. We even started our day with a My Hero Academia [anime nerd show] shoot with @dartstrife. So much fun and creativity. I love Halloween!

@guthrie had a parade at his school at 2:45p.m. @vermillonfox and I had gotten back around 1:00p.m. after our @dartstrife photoshoot in Hastings, MN. We stopped at Twin Cities Reptiles to pick up food for Mr. Snake, our Suriname red tail boa. A short, failed attempt at napping and we were off to see him in the school costume parade. Once we got home, we all carved pumpkins in the living room. I was dying at the tiny face jack-o-lanterns I’d been seeing memes of and decided that’s what I was going to do. We all listened to the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack while we scooped pumpkin guts.

There was a period of madness around 5 - 6:00p.m., charging the Oslo gimbal, doing make-up, trying to dress appropriately for the 30º Minnesota fall weather. Once we were out there door, though, things went great. I’ve been itchy to try out “night mode” on my iPhone 11 Pro. The computational photography this phone can do it incredible and @kellifury showed me some pumpkin photos she took at night just last week. All the images you see in this post were taken with the iPhone 11 Pro, most of them utilizing night mode. I’m so impressed with the results.

We got home around 8:30p.m. after a quick stop and candy raid at @caffetto. Once we were home, we all got out of our costumes and in to warm home clothes. @guthrie started admitting to a stomach ache after the candy, even though I felt we cut him off in time. @vermillionfox and I finished Marianne on Netflix […sadly, disappointed], so we’re going to watch Drag Me To Hell and call it a night. Thanks for stopping by and reading about our Halloween. This was a memorable one. For more photography, art and thoughts on life, follow me here @kommienezuspadt!
