Two weeks ago I attended the annual Asbury Park Zombie Walk. It seems that every year it becomes less exciting. Fewer zombies and more onlookers like me. The morality police were there to protest and remind everyone that the attending zombies would soon die and go to hell, but other than that not all that exciting.

I had driven over an hour and a half to get there and it was a pretty nice day. What to do?

Give up and go home, or stay and keep working the crowd because something might just come up?  Something weird, or perhaps an argument between a zombie and a protestor. I’m not a quitter so I stayed and ended up going through almost a whole roll of 35mm Tri-X. Whether the results are good are yet to be determined, but I know it would have been a complete washout if I didn’t give it a go. And besides I got to hang out with some sinners and saints!

Never give up on an opportunity. Give it a chance. You might be surprised. Sure beats the alternative!

Stay well,

Michael
