    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.

    I like the way this scene is observed by the photographer. He is an outsider and obviously keeps his distance but the distance is physical, not emotional. What also fascinates me, is the backdrop of floating letters on the stage truck 'canvas'.

    I love the little kid playing nearby, unaware that these women were scorned by society.

    What I find interesting is how looking at this photo, if you were not given the context, you might think it has been taken last week. Unlike most of the photos from this era, there clothes are more like what we where today. Leather Jacket, jeans, even the 'girls' outfit is reminiscent of somethig I could or have seen girls whearing today.

    Surprising to see just how little the State Fairs have changed over the years .... save for the enormous rides!

    An interesting note on the cavas banners in those days.A very few survive from the 30's thru the end of the 40's.All were hand painted in those days and some have sold in fair condition for 6000.00$.Some painted by very well known artists of the era.Some are absolutely truly a master work.An old one in good condition from a major circus or well known Carni could fetch 10K.....................so if you are lucky enough to have one don't leave it in the barn.

    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!

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