The Ringmaster!
Charles Van Buskirk
People at Work®: The Circus!




This is Charlie's 37th year as Ringmaster for the Anah Temple Shrine Circus. His job besides introducing the acts and playing straightman to the clowns is to work with Dwight and Struppi and the performers to make sure everyone has what they need and that they are where they are supposed to be. As well as making sure your lowly and humble photographic servant stays the hell out of everyone's way.

Charlie's flickr set featuring the rehearsal of the finale and the finale as well as his other duties can be found here.

This post conclude The Thing of the Moment's 'People at Work®: The Circus!' Series. You Gentle Viewers may now safely return. :)

  3. Charles is my cousin. Great photos of him! Thanks for posting them. I tried the link at the bottom for flicker but it didn't work right. Any chance of getting it fixed? I'd like to see the rest.
