Usually, when I photograph an event like the fair, I photograph it as a story. The photos required to tell the story may or may not reflect a personal interest. This time I just snapped a few shots which I found interesting. Maybe I was uninspired ... maybe I'm trying to shoot differently ... and maybe I'm just being lazy.
I really liked the goats ... maybe one for the backyard ...

    Thanks Nappalonia. There are times when I'm thinking of doing all my photography in B&W (I'm kinda weird that way). As to the reflections ... sometimes one gets lucky. This was the leader of a quintet(?) (Five guys), who sang soft, R&B 60-ish music .. they were extremely good.

    The goats were all great and friendly and just wanted to be cuddled. They made me smile as well.

    Hi Gary...I love the goat...he/she looks like he's posing for you! I was at the fair, too...lots of "faces" to shoot there. I wouldn't mind going back just to sit and watch the people. Lots to see and shoot. thumb.gif

    You better hurry, it runs through the 5th. On my trip I just wasn't too inspired. But I kinda like the "face" theme ... so maybe I may return also (man I sound like Doug MacArthur).

    Thanks FRG. He was the handler of the oxens (6th shot to his right), an exhibit in front of the pig races.
