The First Annual Santa Rosa Street Jack-O'-Lantern Round-Up
This Halloween I hired a skilled nighttime photographer to capture the delicate and impermanent art of our carved pumpkins.
First, we see how Lauren has created two jack-o'-lanterns that symbolize the duality of humankind.
Josh's pumpkin reflects the artist's playful incredulity with the world around him.
Jody's jack-o'-lanterns question the very nature of good and evil.
Barbara's Bats remind the viewer that they are never truely safe in this perilous world.
The anamorphic cat I created suggests that man is not so far removed from animal or vegetable.
I also carved this pirate pumpkin because I think pirates are neat.
Here is a good picture of it in the daytime so you can see the awesome eye patch.
In my opinion, each pumpkin captures the essence of its creator. They are masterpieces, one and all.
