tiny dreams

It was easy to tell that this little girl was longing for one of those stuffed animals – kids at the fair always want one of those carnival-game prizes. And I am pretty sure her adult stayed there until he’d won one for her.

Ha! Ha! Remember back in the day* when my photos were real documentary, just sort of in the vein of “nothing to see here – please move along,” and not at all conceptual or blurry or any of that stuff.

*Like three weeks ago.

I know her tattoo says that only God can judge her, but I bet there are plenty of people who will judge her – on her tattoo, on her clothes, on her hairstyle, on her relationship status, on her job, on all those things that are no one else’s business.

the waiting

Look at me, with the photos of people. I resisted this for a while. For a really long while.

Now I wonder why I waited so long…

ghost riders

Full disclosure, part one: I hate going to the fair. The rest of my family loves to go. I hate it.

Full disclosure, part two: the only reason I agreed to go this year on the Big Family Adventure™ was because I’d just gotten back from that trip where I learned that I could, in fact, take photos that had people in them, and I realized that the fair had great potential for people photos.

Full disclosure, part three: my favorite part of this photo at first was that little girl on the right side. But then I saw those two ghostly blurs at the top, looking for all the world like two scary AF faces.

Full disclosure, part four: I still hate the fair.
