Carny and Rides, County Fair

The Pinellas County Fair landed in the England Brothers Park in Pinellas Park (Fla.) in March 2011. One of the carnies, whose ride was located near the entrance/exit, saw the camera. "You here to photograph the fair?" he wanted to know. "You should take my picture!" He went on to tell me that he'd spent most of his life working carnivals and fairs, "just working the circuit. It's a great life, if you don't have no ties!" There was something almost sad, though, in the way he said that, even as he was hamming it up.
