The carnival…

The carnival arrived this week in Kingston, New York for an eight-day run. Wednesday was opening night. Word on the street is that this particular carnival has been coming around for 65 years. Admission is $1. I think it's the last thing in the world you can get for a buck. I was entertained for hours taking photos, mostly with a tripod, and didn't eat a single nibble of fried dough.

$1 is a great price. Is there a sideshow?
Q: what are the speed settings on a Tilt-O-Whirl?
A: Slow and Hurl
Plus, the carnival is god’s gift to photographers. The light, the people, and this scenery that never seems to get old…maybe because it’s so old. I went last night mainly taking perspective shots, not getting in anyone’s face. Tomorrow, Friday, I plan to get pictures of the people…
Wow – thank you for the trip down memory lane. Decades ago, small midwest farming communities, hot summer days, warm summer nights, nickles and dimes burning a hole in my pocket, the smell and taste of cotton candy, the sounds, the rides, the lights…
Thank you,
