PDNB Photographs Do Not Bend Gallery "The year this picture was taken, I was a bag of jellybeans," says Kate Kelly, a sophomore at LBJ High School. "It was, and still is, my favorite Halloween costume and I remembered being so proud of myself for thinking of it. Before shuffling over to have our picture taken, Sean and I had been arguing about his bland costume. He was wearing his regular clothes but on our way out to go trick-or-treating, had thrown on a janitor's shirt stolen from his school. I was so angry because that shirt was part of his regular attire anyway and to me, Halloween was the one night when you were supposed to become someone, or something, else."
