Carnivals have always interested me. Bright lights, rides, movement, a variety of fascinating people.

These photographs were taken over a period of several years in Fort Wayne, Indiana and Santa Fe, New Mexico. The carnivals include the Fiesta de Santa Fe 2006, several years of the Three Rivers Festival in Fort Wayne, and The Rodeo de Santa Fe 2007 Carnival. I also have a few photographs from a carnival held in the fall of 2007 in the parking lot of the Santa Fe Place Mall.

I photographed the 2022 Three Rivers Festival entirely on Polaroid film!
