Late night Formal Friday action. A little class and a little craziness.

I came across this today: a great series of candids by Time photographer Callie Shell taken throughout the Obama campaign.

Out of the hundreds of photographs flooding the media this week, this collection is by far my favorite.

As a Canadian, I can’t vote. However, today, I’m doing something better than voting itself.

Halloween photobooth was a success. Check it out here:

I’ve been working on a photo booth for a Halloween party the last few weeks with some friends. Its been a labor of love, as we built the structure and stable housing the we eventually decided was “drunk-proof” with glass and bolts to protect against the roughest of guests. We also turned a toy gun into the remote trigger for our Canon 5D and strobe kit.

The guests had a monitor to see their images as they were taking them. We had some spoof job posters outside the booth with pull-tabs sending them to flickr.com/loft910 to find the photos later. It worked like a charm, and 2,000 photos later we had a pretty amazing set of images.

Because of the sheer number of photos, here is the time-lapse of the whole event.

Though certainly not in the same league of showings as New York’s, we here in Boston had a really terrific, synergistic Formal Halloween Friday.

Great meeting everyone.
