The weekend of October 15th-17th I flew to Boston to photograph the MIT Family Weekend 2008. It was a gorgeous Fall weekend, and I got some great image of families having a good time with some fun events mixed in.
Take a look at the slide show here!

The Minnesota State Fair is a gird, and completely paved. Vendors there, are more often than not permanent structures, with the All You Can Drink Dairy House permanently housed across from the new Miracle of Birth Pavillion. There is more focus on the actual farming portion of the fair than on the rides or horticulture buildings. The midway was small, but well lit and bursting with typical carnival fare.
This all being said, I’m not a “fair person.” Keep your deep fried chees curds (but not the deep fried pickles, I need to learn how to make those!), and instead let me stay home to watch a movie called State Fair. Even so, from a photographic perspective, I loved going to the Fair and taking shots of the rides, people, lights, and food. Check out some of the shots below, and let me know what you think.
