Carnies: An Explanation

"Carnies" is in the second year of a three year photography project. A collection of over 5000 images per season chronicling the work by the people involved in the rides, games, and food concessions by one show, Fiesta Shows, at one spot, The Bangor State Fair. What you see here is a selection of the work in progress inspired by the work of photographer Amy Toensing (in particular, The Jersey Shore) and Mark Knopfler (Devil Baby)

"Carnies" is not brought to you by a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, or the John D and Catherine T MacArthur Foundation. Additional funding not provided by Archer Daniels Midland Company or Gentle Viewers like you.

    An amazing series no matter what grants you never got.
