The Creativity Project // The Dark Side

I am super excited about this month’s theme. Well, I should be since I was the one who suggested it! Unfortunately, when it was time to come up with an idea, I was completely stumped. So when my photographer friend Robin suggested I check out the annual Zombie Walk in Asbury Park for some “dark […]

Cafe Fashionista - Ummm…so this is basically the best post (and set of photographs!) for Halloween that I have ever seen. Please, please, please tell me that you are going to submit these to a local/regional magazine – they would make such a fabulous addition to a glossy!! :)

October 12, 2012 - 10:05 am

ellesees.blogspot.com - my faves are the vegetarian zombies who shout, “Grains!” hehe. There’s a big zombie thing in Atl–a shoot out (seriously), zombie pub crawl, and a zombie parade…which is the slowest-moving parade ever. Great pics!!

October 12, 2012 - 10:10 am

Susan - Awesome! You captures some of the best of the best! Including me LOL! Nice work! :)

October 12, 2012 - 10:13 am

Marvett Smith - :) This totally made me smile! How cool that they do a zombie walk! It looks like so much fun!

October 12, 2012 - 10:54 am

Elly - LOVE this! I love Zombie walks, they’re so fun! I’ve never attended one (though I did try do a Zombie run once, but it was sold out – 2.8hourslater.com) so I’m well jealous. So glad you guys had a great time! :)

October 14, 2012 - 12:14 am

Angelia Sims - OH MY GOSH!!! This is GREAT!!! That is the coolest thing. I must admit….I was not a Zombie fan until recently. My husband convinced me to watch The Walking Dead series. I LOVE that show so much. I can’t help but love zombies too. Some of the costumes on the show are not as good as these. Excellent way to participate in your project. :-)

October 15, 2012 - 7:55 am

Amy - Look at me, be brave, and whizzing right past the warning to all the gory details! :)

That looks hilarious! And really, who could resist the Parker pups? I don’t even want to know . . .

October 16, 2012 - 2:34 pm

Gloria - This is absolutely hilarious – what a fun event!! I love how creative people get with their costumes. I mean, zombie Rudolph?!

November 5, 2012 - 9:53 am

Nadette - Wow, this may be too dark for me, but it was probably bloody good fun. Fantastic photos!

A Piece of Heaven

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to go through some of my pictures from my trip to Wyoming. Going to a national park was always on my list of things to do, but honestly, I don’t think it would’ve ever happened had it not been for Tanja and Zach. When they graciously offered to […]

September in an Instant

I know I say this every month, but every month seems to be going faster than the one before. After Labor Day, the days just flew by! Kleber turned the BIG 3-0 this month and after years of bugging him to “get back in the game”, he finally listened and joined a recreational league. Of […]

Life with Kaishon - Happy Birthday to the coolest and most fabulous soccer player in all of New Joisey!
I love when I see your instagram pictures. So far I only know how to see whoever puts pictures up right before I put pictuers up…is there a way to look at all your pictures one by one? Some day I will be cool like you Maddy-licious! Someday!

So excited about London I can hardly stand it!

You are living your best life and that makes me so happy for you!

October 4, 2012 - 11:32 am

The Guilty Hyena - Yay ! Happy birthday to Kleber!! how EXCITING!! your trip to the Big Smoke! I would have been totally down for a meet-up Maddy! :) I’m currently based up North, I won’t be anywhere near London then, bummer! :( Maybe next time if I’m ever in New Jersey, have family there so you never know. :)

You planning to catch a Liverpool match up in Anfield ? All the October matches will be based in Liverpool. Though 11 November will have Chelsea vs Liverpool match in London.
