I looked at all three days of your fair photos and am greatly impressed. You have a marvelous eye for capturing both action and stillness. I know you must tweak each photo, and am amazed at the HUGE output of work you've accomplished. I hope someone is paying you for making such an impressive record of this event!
Carol -- I volunteered to shoot the fair as much as possible, and did a pretty good job of it. Partly it was to document the 100th anniversary, but a part of me wanted to delve deep into a personal photo project here at home. The fair was the perfect venue for such a project, and it appears that I've sold a few prints to help pay for my time. Now I can't wait for next year's fair!

Great shots, Tom.
Thanks, Matt. I'd rather shoot events than any other type of photography.
