Summertime at the County Fair
September 27th, 2009
Summertime just isn’t complete without the county fair. I grew up going to the Santa Clara County Fair. The sights, sounds, and smells are all very vivid memories to me. We went to the LA County Fair last weekend. As we drove up, the Pomona Fairgrounds seemed like a tiny oasis lost in this mass land of Los Angeles. As we stepped closer, it was as if we had drank from the same magic bottle as Alice. Everything grew bigger as we shrunk to tiny bite size people. There were at least three or four ferris wheels, game alley spanned most of the fairgrounds, fried food every where you turned, drinks galore, and farm animals in a giant barn bigger than what you’d ever seen on the side of the Pacheco Pass. While I did take color photos, these few black and white photos taken with my Diana + bring back those happy memories of summertime at the county fair.

Cotton Candy
September 17th, 2009
This is the color version of Garden Gnomes & Faerie Flowers. The setting sun casts a warm glow on cotton candy petals which also serve as fair rides for the faerie folk.

Santa Cruz
October 2nd, 2001
Summer vacations were mostly spent in LA going to Disneyland or Reno visiting the arcades. Sometimes, we would drive to the other side of the mountain on the 17 to go to Santa Cruz. My childhood was always about imagination and amusement. Here is Santa Cruz on an empty fall day. I handprinted this photo myself on color paper.

Dragons in Manhattan
October 1st, 2001
This is one of my first black and white prints that I perfected and love. This image is actually a scanned slide photograph of the print. I’ll fix it and repost it to take out the light glare. The title is from a book I read about this merry go round, which was actually in San Francisco.
