Canada being my adoptive country, halloween seemed strange to me as a kid. We did not celebrate or had even heard of Halloween in Egypt, the country where I was born. We did go to masquerade balls but there was no candy involved and it wasn't about wearing scarry costumes.
I now know the origins of this celebration and even though the essence of it is long forgotten, I can see why some people prefer to bypass the holiday all together. I must admit, it is not my favorite holiday. And now that my children are all grown up and no longer go trick or treating, I didn't really feel like getting into the spirit of it.
Nonetheless, I was curious to see what was left of my old decorations. Despite my shabby display, I made sure I had a litup pumpkin to signify that "We were giving candy" . I am glad I was home to receive the little muchkins. It was such a pleasure to see their little faces - or masks - light up and hear their gleeful voices say "Thank you."
Yesterday on Halloween night, distributing candy to little ones was one more opportunity to appreciate the fact that I am Canadian and that I live in a great country.
Children story books.My studio, "Your Eye on Photo", was born from my love for making images. In parallel,I have developed “Tattle Tales Portraits” from my fascination with my childhood storybook illustrations; these images that danced in my head from the time I was a little girl. Do you remember the images in your fairy tale books? This is exactly what we create right here in our studio. When you book your session, the set is built at the studio just for your session
