I haven't written anything in quite a while because I haven't been shooting anything in quite a while. Work and other things have occupied my time, plus the think tank for projects to dive right into has been pretty dry.
Fortunately, there's my hometown of Medford. Every October, they allow people and local organizations to create and present scarecrows along historic Main Street. A nice little companion to the annual Halloween parade the township holds every year. I'm usually shooting some cheerleading events this time of year (since 2008), but I haven't been brought on to shoot any yet for this season. A bit of a relief considering what those events consist of, so I used this free time to take my camera to the gentler environment of Medford. I walked up and down Main Street for good while and captured maybe thirty seconds of footage of each scarecrow, amounting to a little over ten minutes. I can whip up something out of this, set it to some music (perhaps the theme to The Munsters if I can find it), and throw it onto the Internets in time for Halloween.
In addition to Halloween festivities, Medford also holds an event on Main Street around Christmas called The Dickens Festival, where the township takes advantage of this historical part of town and people wander up and down the street on a cold December evening. Provided it doesn't become a haven for Tea Party folk, that would make for a nice little project as well.
