On a more somber note, I photographed this story for the Midland Daily News on Halloween. Tim Troup was killed in a SCUBA accident earlier this year, and his family continued his tradition of making hundreds of bags of popcorn to give to trick-or-treaters. They were a wonderful family and I thought this was a beautiful way to honor their loved one's memory. You can find the story here.
