Coriander Focus Photography is getting into the Halloween spirit. Check it out!

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted—nevermore!
Edgar Allen Poe

“Not so casual, look dignified.”
“Open your eyes more.”
“Not *that* open! You look maniacal.”
“Stop making me laugh because I keep juggling the camera and then you’re out of focus!”
I think I might have gotten a good photo for the newspaper out of the 30 pictures. 😂
