Hi all, I'm in a really busy period work-wise preparing for my 6Sight conference, which takes place one month from now. So I'm not able to look through everyone's pictures as I would like, or to take/post many of mine. But, as our governor says, I'll be back!

wow.

another one, Alexis. for me, its the tones. and the contradiction between the repetitive nature of the building in the background versus the erratic positioning and dimensions of the pumpkins.

I find the depth of focus so wide ranging here that some of the pumpkins take on a supernaturally large appearance, making this photograph almost abstract in feeling. check out the pumpkins in the front compared to the size of the building...its quite a trip!

extraordinary.

What a great triubte! I am sure all are tickled! this is an amazing photo. The BW does give this an eerie feel. Almost as if the pumpkins are rolling around on their own,.
