Carnivale.

Cool. I love how the photo captures the onlookers.

That grandstand is still there.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Social Documentary Photography & events, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

This is again another dramatic photo that is uncluttered and could be printed and used as wall art.

I agree, nice composition,jack.

spectacular preservation of focus, holy cow.

First shot of the "backside" of the "girlie" show series. The man appears in another shot, partly shaded. The trailer in the background was probably used as a teaser stage. The paying customers would then be admitted through the double doors and down the steps to stand in front of the real show stage behind the photographer. The trailer shows up again on the left of the first shot of the "girls".

This is such a nostalgic photo and conjures up a time of innocence and fun.

Pour la petite histoire: Jack Delano faisait parti de la Section photographique de la Farm Security Administration: les photos devant révéler les conditions de vie et de travail des américains ruraux. En lien une bio (française évidemment): fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Delano Les grandes roues sont bien les attractions les plus indémodables qui soient!

Thank you for reading the signs for the rest of us!

I love American Fairs, especially ones from this time period.
