Yo, you've seen these all before but hey, it's the season and time to trot them out again. My creepy Halloween composites. In fact, I think the blue dog in the forest was one of the first composites I ever created. I was super proud of myself because I got the blue of the dog very close to the actual blue of the background photo, for starters, but I also shaded the dog, giving highlights and shadows. That little change made an enormous contribution to the dimensional aspect of it. Anyway, enjoy them once again!

I had the honor of photographing 13 dogs at Top Dog Barkery in Newport Beach over the weekend and it was a blast. Karen, the owner, has a Halloween contest every hour so the store was filled with people bringing their pooches all decked out in costumes.We took pictures of the dogs in and out of their costumes so that we could get a variety and of course we offered our beautiful curved metal prints to those who signed up for our photo shoot.To my dismay, the one thing I forgot to bring was my ottoman for the dogs to be photographed on and it was a bit of a detriment because we had a big hard box that some of the dogs did not like to get on.
