If you need something ghastly for Halloween, here is a ghastly white pumpkin still on the vine, from Father Pitt’s own pumpkin patch.

Father Pitt usually thinks of the photograph as the raw material for a picture, meaning that the photograph will go through a good bit of adjustment before he publishes it. But every once in a while, he challenges himself to publish pictures directly from the camera. On this expedition, he also focused all the pictures manually, just to see how good the Fujifilm FinePix HS10 was at manual focusing. Pretty good.











You have to get up early in the morning to catch pumpkin blossoms at their peak. They’re spectacularly huge, but they start to wither as soon as the sun comes out. Here are two from a city garden that by this time of the year is mostly pumpkin vines.
