Sepia Saturday - Halloween



For this Sepia Saturday Suggestion lets look at some Halloween Snapshots that have accumulated over the years.

Oddly, although this is a popular subject for amateur photographers, there are very few Halloween themed snapshots in LOST GALLERY.

Let's start with one set of nine photographs, all Polaroid shots that apparently were from a Halloween party at a restaurant.

So today for Sepia Saturday, lets look at all the photographs in LOST GALLERY associated with Halloween!

Halloween Office Party at Taco Tico

A little research found that these party pictures were taken in a fast service restaurant called Taco Tico, an idea started by brothers Dan and Robin Foley. The first Taco Tico restaurant opened in 1962 in Wichita, Kansas. Sources vary but the idea apparently grew to several hundred locations, company units and franchises across Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas in just a few short years. The Foley brothers sold the entire company in 1988. It is an interesting sidelight that the first Pizza Hut restaurant had opened just four years earlier, in the same city, Wichita, Kansas.

There are lots of photographs of people in costume in LOST GALLERY, but only these few seemed Halloween related.

Costume

Here's a big Halloween scene. It's about 60 children in Halloween costumes, ready for the Trick or Treat circuit of their neighborhoods.

It is always a mystery how a photograph of any of these precious children could end up lost or abandoned. Here are a few. You will probably say "Ooh..." at least once.

Possibly the most popular subject of the amateur photographer is children.
In the past, LOST GALLERY has collected photographs of children on pages called:
The Studio Portraits
The Kid in the Tub
The Goat Cart
Cowboy Suits
Child on the Front steps
Boys in Dresses
Three Children
Vintage Child Holding a Chicken
Girls and their Dolls
Baby on (Running) Board

This collection will be mostly of amateur snapshots of children; basically a child or two standing out in the yard, or just busy playing. There's a pro shot here and there.

Three of the most popular baby poses: the hospital identification shot, the christening gown and the old bare butt shot.

These three are probably professionally shot.
