The Manhattan skyline on Halloween night

I took this photo Friday night from Brooklyn looking toward Manhattan, right as Halloween revelry was heating up all over the city.

I’m home in Kansas City now, and am physically and mentally drained after all the work I’ve done this week. But New York is a great place to be for grown-ups on Halloween. There was a parade through Greenwich Village which brought out the crowds - and there was such a palpable sense of jubilant insanity in the streets that it felt great to be taking up this thing known as travel photography - if that’s what I’m really doing.

The New York photos will be coming regularly on this site for quite some time…
