It may seem like a strange title, but when you take a look at this collection of images, you’ll see what I mean. I’m sharing some of the odds and ends I have in my collection, things that I picked up because I liked the image or the masks / costumes featured, but aren’t necessarily to do with Halloween.
Some may be fancy dress parties, school plays or theatrical productions or just people goofing around and having a bit of fun – I’ll leave it to you to decide. However, if you’re here it’s because you enjoy a bit of vintage vernacular photography and strange and unusual masks and costumes, so I’m sure these will do just fine for you.
