Goth Pimp and Ho

At Manikins Lounge, the theme night was Pimps and Hoes. The “ho” in this pic said I had once photographed her mother. She said her mom’s name, but I didn’t recall it. I photographed these two earlier in the night. They were with another couple. Then, I photographed them during the evening’s costume contest. I don’t recall if they won 1st, 2nd or 3rd place. Outside, I photographed them…

The Munster's Couple

During a Halloween weekend, I was photographing costumed patrons at Manikins Lounge. A spot located in Downtown Sanford, Florida. During my photographing, I ran across a Frankenstein couple. At first, I thought they were Frankenstein Monster and the Bride of Frankenstein. Then, recently, I realized the woman was dressed as Lily Munster from the TV show The Munsters. Whatever the case, I took…

Frankenstein Mask

No, this wasn’t Halloween. It was during a theme night at Manikins, a spot located in Downtown Sanford, Florida. As usual, I forgot what the theme was. On previous nights, I photographed “Frankenstein” before. He wore different costumes. (By the way, Frankenstein was never the monster’s name.) On this night, I photographed Frankenstein twice with his two other costumed friends. Also, I…

Many times, I photograph her with her fiancé. Steampunk was my first night seeing her, I photographed her several times during the night. Yet, I prefer this pic.

Bloody Apron Costume

One Halloween at Manikins Lounge, I was photographing the costumed patrons. Outside the place, I noticed a woman wearing a mask and bloody apron. The mask appeared to be stitched together of skin. Of course, it was fake. Looking at the whole costume, I guessed she was dressed as Leatherface from the movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. She said I guessed right. Fascinated, I took her…

Redhead Wearing Mask

As usual, I forget what the theme night was. It was another night at Manikins Lounge in Sanford, Florida. This is a friend who has supported me in the past. She purchased one of my previous books.

Blonde Devil and Jello Shots

This photo happened Halloween night at Manikins Lounge, a spot in Downtown Sanford, Florida. The beauty in this pic showed up with a brunette. First, I photographed both of them.

This pic is in the…

Redhead Wearing a Cat Costume

She used to dance on Manikins’ stripper pole. One night, as she wore this cat outfit, I lead her to the bar’s cage. The cage is located in the back patio area.

Later on in the evening, I took five more photos of her. This time, she was in the bar’s…

Praying Nun

I was photographing a Halloween night at Manikins in Sanford, Florida. A black dude wearing a nun costume caught my attention. Most nuns I see are white women. How often do you see a black male nun? As I aimed my camera at him, the nun gave me a prayer pose. This pic is in the photo book Costume Nights. If you wish to purchase a copy, click here.

Goth Nun

Twice before, I had photographed this young lady. These were during the bar’s theme nights. On this particular night, she won a cash prize in a costume contest. There was a third place, second place and a first place. I forgot what place she won. As I created my recent photo book, I realized I didn’t like the photo I was using for the cover. The picture itself wasn’t bad. I just didn’t like it…
