Every year the Church Wellesley BIA hosts a Halloween party. They block off a street, crowds form, and strangeness ensues. This year I showed up.
I had gone with a group from TPMG, but split from them almost immediately; working alone allows me to blend in better; it allows me to be calmer.
The photos in this set attempt at the feel of that party, that sense of surreality, of a world that’s just a bit crazy. I photographed differently - no flash, slower shutter speeds, motion blur . . .; doesn’t seeing things as you wouldn’t normally suit the spirit of the night?
