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...
