It’s crazy to think that 2023 is almost over, I’m nearly 18, and I will be a college student studying computer science soon. It feels like just yesterday that I was writing my first Windows Forms apps and trying to get through middle school. Now, with the next stage of my life looming, it’s become even easier for me to get lost thinking about the future. However, I’ve decided to stop for a moment and focus on what is going on right now: Halloween 2023! Unfortunately, I don’t believe that I will be celebrating this year, (busy life, busy friends, etc.) but I did take some pictures. Take a look! Although I wish I got more, I enjoyed all of these shots. I hope you did, too, and Happy Halloween! The smoke bomb pictures were taken at school on a Canon Rebel T3i.

It is held annually in early autumn on the banks of the Wabash River, four miles southwest of West Lafayette, Indiana.” It’s a fun event with tons to see (and eat)! I’ve gone several times and encourage anyone around Indiana to check it out next year. Anyway, as you could probably guess, I took some photos. All of these were shot in manual mode on a Rebel T7 with a Canon telephoto lens. Take a look! I found that I really enjoyed the photos above. Evidently, the event coordinators did too. I shared my photos with them, and they appeared on the official Instagram story not long after! I’m glad that I w
