Happy Halloween mateys!!






















I love this time of year! Last year...Cassi's Dad was in a motorcycle accident on the 28th of October and we were still in a daze on Halloween night so I don't have any pics of Cassi being a belly dancer. Every other year I have these amazing Halloween pictures of her in costume.

This year, our studio had a pirate themed homecoming and we had this killer backdrop that I planned on using. And then the fires came...and I never got a round to taking the pictures so we decided on the next best thing...

A real pirate ship. This pirate ship is docked down at the Embarcadero here in San Diego. It is the ship that was used in the movie Master and Commander that Russell Crowe starred in. We also spent some time touring some of the other ships in the bay...The Berkeley, the Star of India and a Russian submarine that was used by the Russians in the Cold War.

Cassi had toured these recently with her father so she played tour guide for me...all the while looking like a genuine wench...errr....pirate!!!

I was playing around with actions in photoshop so you can see there are many different effects on the images.

I love getting feedback so tell me your favorite!!!

Cassi and I are headed to Hawaii for a much needed vacation on Saturday and I haven't decided if I am bringing the laptop along but I am sure I will have a lot to share at some point!

Enjoy!
