A quick collection of photographs from fall assignments for the Orange County Register. Apart from a decorated pumpkin race, Star Wars-themed event at the children's hospital, a church dedication, and Halloween festivities you see here, the fall quarter also included the Miss Huntington Beach pageant, a portrait of a long-time professor at UCI regarding the nuclear reactor currently in the campus' basement, and a lot of action-packed high school football. Enjoy!
