I photographed the Keene Pumpkin Festival for many years as tens of thousands of lit jack-o-lanterns, celebrated the harvest and the Halloween to come. The southern New Hampshire town began its Keene Pumpkin Festival in the early 90's as a way for school children to display their art. It grew into a Guiness World Record event with a series of world records with well over 26,000 jack o' lanterns. Here are my favorite photos from all those celebrations.
