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. :)

Mr Pedalsworth
People at Work®: The Circus!




Introduced as "Mr Pedalsworth from Jolly Old England" (and reported as such by the local newspaper) he's VERY similar to Brett Marshall in skill but with a comedic edge.

Luciano's Pound Puppies
People at Work®: The Circus!




Luciano Anastasini rescues dogs from animal shelters and trains them for his comedy act. He was also the Virgil to my Dante and spent an incredible amount of teaching me about the circus and showing me around. Being used to training animals and all....

Sir Lancelot and his Elephant!
Elephant at Work®: The Circus!




I know, I know...some of you well meaning people who HAVE DOGS AND EAT MEAT have some problem with circus elephants. Well let me tell you something, Gentle Viewer, that elephant has got a better gig than I do. AND it's thinner and can sit!
