Park Slope Halloween 2018
Pictures taken in Park Slope (Brooklyn) on Halloween afternoon and evening 2018, including the 32nd Annual Park Slope Halloween Parade. This year I had a new camera. I had stuck with an ancient Nikon, as Panasonic did not make a lens with the focal length range needed for the sidewalk pictures.
