A long-lost friend at a Halloween Party in 1981.
The negative is long lost, but I was able to scan the print and clean up most of the scratches and dust specks.

A Jack-o'-lantern at our first apartment in Sunnyvale, October 1988.
I know that I tried a number of different long exposures, but I don't have any notes about times or f-stops. However, this is the picture that I was trying to get - the light from a candle glowing *through* the walls of the pumpkin.
My eye couldn't see that light because it was so dim compared to the light from the openings - but I knew that film could reveal it.
(Scanned 35mm color negative)
