Bakersfield photographer, contemporary photography

BOO! I feel like Halloween has just snuck up on us this year, I’m just not ready yet! The kids and I attempted a pumpkin carving last night and let’s just say let him R.I.P. Oh it was scary looking but not in a good jack-o-lanterny way

A couple random halloweenish facts about me:

My favorite scary movies of all time:

5) Evil Dead II
4) The Exorcist
3) From Dusk Till Dawn
2) Alien
1) Army of Darkness - possibly one of my favorite movies in any category

My best costume ever:
A waitress - while I was working as a waiter. I was a waiter in my late teens for a while and it was classic to go up to a table with people only half paying attention and call me miss or ma’am. The really funny part was when I would ask them for their order in my husky male voice which would snap them into a doing a double take.  Simply awesome.

For a photo today I wanted to share a before and after editing example. The first is obviously the original image straight out of the camera except for my watermark and a slight sharpening. Nothing wrong with the image but the next one has a little more umph.

This second image is the results after treating the photograph with some editing. Nothing too crazy but you can see the difference some simple processing makes. It just gives the colors a little pop, some contrast and finishes it off more to my style.

Have a happy halloween, everyone!
