A walk through South Congress Avenue in the middle of Austin. Still practicing with that new (to me) Leica 35-70mm zoom. Basically a 50mm lens that's willing to be flexible...

 



Sixth Street and Congress Ave. both go totally nuts on Halloween. Tons of young people in costumes. Much alcohol consumption. A modicum of disorderly conduct. A dab of good clean fun. This weekend is a home game for UT Austin so Halloween festivities will be even ... better attended. 

I have the right attitude now when using the 35-70mm f4.0 lens. I now think of it as a standard line with wiggle room. 

I thought about going out this evening as photographer, Terry Richardson, for Halloween, but couldn't find those really crappy looking eyeglasses. Decided to go as something even scarier === the guy who designed the camera menus for Olympus...

Gotta love short shorts and boots! Yes the insanity of Oly menus. Someone at Olympus REALLY hates photographers.

Just noticed that this image and the previous one were different images.
