Gathered together for the Annual Great Pupkin Event are thousands of viewers and more than a hundred dog-contestants dressed in their best Halloween costumes. The dogs and their enthusiastic owners strut their stuff across the viewing area. They have come to be judged in this fabulous competition. This is like no other gathering in New York City and it has grown in popularity over the years as a must-go-to event the weekend closest to Halloween. The presentation did not disappoint.
I was invited by the promoters and organizers to photograph this colorful and fun dog-pageant. I had no idea what to expect, but I must say I totally enjoyed my time creating these beautiful images.
I have composed this video to showcase the highlights of the images I captured. I hope that you will enjoy them as you view these adorable canines and those that love them.
