Details: What’s your preference? Trick or Treat? A trick is usually incurred – in the form of mischief – if a treat isn’t given. Historically Scottish children would work for their treats – by performing a trick of some sort. This process was know as guishing.
Halloween! What a festive time of year. The only time when being yourself is frowned upon.

Just charge the battery, grab the camera, and hit the streets for a day of adventure. Try it in your city. You’ll be in awe at the treasures you’ll uncover.
