Perspective

Who loves going to the fair?

I did.

Unfortunately, as an adult, I have to worry about work, money, time, and little feet running off, so it's just not as awesome as it used to be. In fact, it feels like a chore just to get everybody ready and in the car. This year, the tread actually separated from one of our tires while we were driving to the fair so that was an added frustration which almost kept us from attending.

But when I was a kid, I loved going to the fair. I would be excited for a month leading up to it. I wanted to ride the rides, play the games, feel the music, eat the food, and just experience the whole adventure. Oh, to see life through the eyes of a child. <3

So when I started imagining what I could do with my camera and a little bit of knowledge at the fair this year, I really had to search my memories for the right perspective. I spent quite a bit of time preparing but nothing beats just letting the eyes take over.
