Grace and the Giant Pumpkin
 After a week of a lot of production and assignments, yesterday, we had a break before we're back on the road. A quick Sunday outing with the family to the pumpkin patch with my 5 year-old and 9 year-old, and an 8 month-old strapped to my chest got me to thinking that my youngest would actually fit into some of the pumpkins in the patch. |
 So, after a selection that would be "photo appropriate", and a bit of a struggle getting a huge pumpkin into the small red wagon, we headed home and the giant pumpkin was taken to the studio. |
At right is one of the final images, and after the jump is a stop-action 4 minute video showing the entire project, from start to finish, in about 1,000 individual still images. We began the carving with one of our cut-out tools after a quick sharpie sketch. Removing the meat in the pumpkin and we were ready to shoot, with a clean white background. Grace, our 8-month old came on set for all of about 3 minutes, with my assistant Suzanne Behsudi handling the background and my wife securing Grace, I made a series of frames that I was pretty pleased with. Every once in awhile, it's nice to take a break and just have a little fun.

Making great pictures and running a successful business are great thing...but this is what it is all about.
I hope you and the family have a Happy Halloween!!

where's the one with her legs sticking out the mouth, suggesting a pumpkin gone wild?
Happy Halloween! Very cute 8 month old, it looks like everyone had a great time. Thanks for sharing
Great time-lapse pics John and ditto what others said that having fun is what it is all about. Hard to tell how it came out from the time-lapse, but I'm guessing the family pose (with wife and Grandma?) came out really good too.
