I took this picture when I lived in Santa Monica. I stopped and parked in the lot of an elementary school to take pictures of their pumpkin display. The bright sun cast shadows, so I had to make sure I stood to the side of my subject to not darken it with my own shadow. I also crouched down as low to the ground as I could, not only to make the pumpkins appear bigger, but to crop out people walking around. I like to crop my images in the moment by zooming in on the subject, for example so I don't have to do anything in Photoshop later except resizing.
This image and story are not in the book.
