By the way, it appears they want your typewriters. This is a street poetry producer protecting her prize. (Ick. What a word combination. It is 1:00 AM and I should really give my brain a break. Mmm... brains....)

| Stage blood by the gallon. What wholesome family fun! |
Some people take their characters very seriously. Point a camera at them and watch the fun!

| This was part of a a 15 second head to toe spasm. Impressive. And scary. |

| Clowns. Why did it have to be clowns? |

A zombie walk through throngs of art lovers is towards the top of my list for fun street shooting. I live for content rich scenes like this. Claire came along and loved every minute of it. We were going to dress up and join the fun, but after laying a new living room floor I was looking a little too much like a zombie to do a good job gimping along with the crowd. Besides, inside the pack you only see the few participants surrounding you. I love being on this side of the lens.
All photos were shot on a Canon 60D; some with a wide zoom and most with a 50mm f1.4 or 85mm 1.8. I am out on travel. This post is brought to you by the magic of Blogger scheduling. Please leave a comment after the tone and I will moderate it on my return.
Beeeep!
hilarious! Our zombie walk a couple years ago was kind of a bust. This one looks successful
ReplyDeleteThe crowd roughly doubled since the 2011 walk. Impressive.
DeleteI have to say I don't get the zombie craze!
ReplyDeleteI will admit being ambivalent about zombies until "Shawn of the Dead" came along. I also love the pulp movie genre.
DeleteOMG
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that the deity of your choice had anything to do with this fake mayhem ;-)

Pretty much. Just add a bunch of fresh ribbons and paper to the Twinkies in the survival stockpile and you are good to go.
DeleteDwayne I dare you to post a typewriting zombie pic!
ReplyDeleteHmm. I like the idea and will probably take you up on the dare, but it won't be until Halloween or the fall K.C. zombie walk. I actually have the perfect zombie outfit lined up complete with a 1970s plaid Neiman Marcus suit. Claire wants to do the zombie walk in the worst way.
