Halloween

Halloween

Happy Halloween!  When I was teaching this was one of my favourite days because all kids dressed up for their afternoon Halloween party at school.  All kids from Grade 1 - 6 were excited and my job for the afternoon was to try and photograph all kids in the school.  I usually started with the youngest and worked my way to the oldest.  I don't think I ever got everyone (there were over 700 kids at the time) during the 2 hour session.  When I look back at the photos I get a kick out of them, especially when some of the kids are now finished high school.  They would probably get a kick out of seeing themselves in costume.

The photos I am sharing today were taken in Holyrood and Chapel's Cove in 2002.  Interestingly, I did the same drive last year around Halloween and there were hardly any outside decorations.  I assume the kids in the house are grown and decorating for Halloween is no longer a big deal. 

 The first photo was taken in Chapel's Cove and the trailer that was decorated for Halloween is no longer there and has been replaced by a big house.

Feel free to share with family and friends.

Grand Falls, 1970's

Grand Falls, 1970's

I lived in Grand Falls in the 1970's and took many, many rolls of black and white film.  In those days I did freelance photography for The Advertiser, the local paper.  I photographed many events in the town and still have most negatives.  A while back I scanned a few of them and thought this would be a good time to share them.

I don't have the specific event but I think that one is a Christmas Concert with performances by St. Catherine's and St. Mike's students. Other photos were taken at a St. Catherine's / St. Mike's Graduation. The photos were taken 40 years ago.  If the kids in the photos were in their mid-to-late teens, they are now now in their mid-to-late 50's.  :)   If you know anyone in the photos, let me know.

I happened upon a car accident on the Trans Canada Highway near Atlantic Building Supplies (not sure if that's the correct name).  I believe this photo was published in the paper.


I also made photos at many hockey games and recently came across this photo of Joe Byrne who posed for a quick photo in the stadium that was later named after him.  I think he was still coaching the Cataracts when this photo was taken. Not sure of the guy with him ... may be Mr. Davis?
