I happened to drive by this porch of carved pumpkins during the day and decided to come back that evening. I had no idea if they would be lit or not but as I came up the road I could see the glow so I knew we were in business. This scene is about 10 feet off the road so getting a shot was very easy. What would a Halloween photo be without a little scare in the story? I parked in a field, grabbed my gear and headed across the road and that’s when I noticed a few were not lit? Other than the glowing pumpkins, it was very dark around them and as I set my tripod up a voice suddenly came from the dark porch saying I will have them all lit in a minute! Well after that unexpected surprise, they went inside and I commenced to adding a touch of light for that cool moonlit shot I had envisioned! It seems that creative endeavors done for the enjoyment of others are becoming increasingly scarce in a world of self absorbed people who have very little desire to do anything positive requiring the slightest effort! I know I am getting old when I feel the need to share what I see happening in society and maybe it runs in my genes because I did have some ancestors who were Preachers!

Amen!
That is awesome! What a lovely find!
thank you for visiting and commenting!
What a work of art & labor of love! Wonder how many hours were involved in these creations? Thanks Don for sharing.
my thoughts exactly!
This is a wonderful photo, and would be perfect for a seasonal magazine cover! Speaking as an ignoramus on the subject, I wonder if you could make some nice money selling it? I know you are the Shopping News photographer, but I mean a big publication, or an important photo contest.
Sorry – I had to put my two cents in.
Love this photo! Thanks!
My biggest shortcoming is promoting myself. I see published images that are terrible but they made the effort and got paid. I entered one magazine contest 20 years ago and got a full page photo as a winner. thanks!
Keep sharing the positive – there is more out there than many realize …
Will do!
