Every year at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair, I try to do something different from the previous year. This year with a lot of help from Julia, Geneva, and Kayla; three young ladies that have exceptionally bright personalities and participate yearly in the fair’s agricultural programs. I set out with the goal of taking 100 portraits in one hour.
This includes finding participants, sharing what this is for, setting up, letting them know where they can find their pictures and of course a moment of thanks at the end. With my helpers we crossed over the 100 threshold in under thirty minutes so we set a new goal of two hundred faces. We ended with portraits of the three of them. Thank you to everyone that participated and I hope you all had a blast at the fair!

Wonderful photos, so colorful and real. I can hear the music, taste the food and anticipate the excitement while waiting in line for a ride. I now live over 3000 miles away in bush Alaska. I miss my “hometown” fair and all the anticipation it brought year after year.
