Just to be fair...

Tuesday night I flew the coop and escaped to the OC fair with my best friend, Kendra (hi girl!). She picked me up and we hit the drive thru at Taco Bell and gorged ourselves on frijoles and headed to the fair. I had entered a photo and it got accepted so Miss K graciously agreed to go check it out with me. Of course we brought our cameras because 1. We're both amateur photo nerds, 2. We had no kids. 3. WE HAD NO KIDS! There are 6 kids between the two of us so we rarely get to finish a conversation let alone work on our photography skills.

We always have a great time together. That may be a result of the fact that we have known each other for 25+ years. I've known her longer than one of my sisters, my step-dad, step-mom, my kids, my husband- you get the point. She's seen me through it all.

So anyway, she posted a lovely post about me and our time together and she challenged me to put some of my fair pics up here so there you have it. I always try to be fair, especially when it comes to the fair. :)

I like this image for three reasons. First, I took it on the sly- these two didn't even know I was there which wasn't a difficult task since they pretty much didn't know there was anyone at the fair at all. Second, The background looks as though there is motion of some sort, spinning maybe? Third, I noticed the kids shirt says something about Jesus. I hadn't seen this until I worked on the image. Cool.

This is the standard Ferris Wheel
picture. Everyone has taken one,
right? Looks a little flat in black and

white but I dig the contrast.

These guitars were prizes for a game. Cool prize but I'm fairly sure that to win one that you would spend more on tickets to play than for the guitar if you were to buy it yourself.

Oh, the picture I entered in the Visual arts exhibit at the fair? It's the feet picture on the heading of my blog. :) It was cool to see it hanging among other great black and whites.
