2014 Minnesota State Fair
The 2014 State Fair opened to hot and humid weather, which I avoid if possible. The first day forecast to be temperate and dry I went, however, and since it was midweek attendance was lower than average. (One of the Labor Day Weekend day's attendance broke the previous record, meaning that crowds were shoulder-to-shoulder.) Since I arrived before the 9 a.m. concession opening, I was able to capture many of the food stands with no customers, complementing one of my better efforts from earlier years when I photographed those stands (and you'll note many of them are the same) after dark in 2006. Thereafter, my principal subjects were the people seen everywhere, from 9 a.m. until dusk. |
