North Carolina State Fair – 17 Oct 2017
Day of Deliverance
“I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”
Letter from John Adams to Abigail Adams, 3 July 1776

Hard Choices
The 2016 North Carolina State Fair opens today
I photograph it each year for CaryCitizen and enter two images in next year’s “Professional Photography Competition”
This is my non-winning entry
Whoa!

I photograph it each year for CaryCitizen and enter two images in next year’s “Professional Photography Competition”
To my surprise, they called today saying I’d won the “Best North Carolina Fair Scene” category with this entry
Guilty Pleasures
The 2015 North Carolina State Fair opens tomorrow. Each year since 2011, I’ve made photographs for CaryCitizen.
I also enter the “Professional Photography Competition”, using images made at the previous Fair. Even won an Honorable Mention in 2012, which I think makes me an official Tar Heel. These two are my 2015 NC State Fair entries.
I’ve no idea if I won anything or was even Juried in. Both could be in “rejected” storage until I retrieve them, post Fair.
I’d have entered anyway, our State Fair is irresistible, just like these guilty pleasures.

Midway Nocturne II
Made last year, this is one of my entries in the 146th North Carolina State Fair Professional Photography Competition.
Midway Monster
The 146th North Carolina State Fair begins this Thursday, 17 October.
Midway Nocturne
Photography was first exhibited at our North Carolina State Fair in 1890. This photograph was awarded an Honorable Mention in the Professional Photography Competition last Friday. Now I know how the 4-H kids feel. Except photographs are a lot easier than showing livestock. Next year.
NC State Fair 2011 – #2
No matter where you at the NC State Fair, you will hear and eventually smell, the Tractor Pull competition. It is the mechanical counterpart of an $8, 1,110 calorie, deep-fried Turkey Leg. It makes no sense and isn’t good for you but it is delicious and irresistible. Photographed for CaryCitizen.com. Complete Gallery from 14 Oct here: State Fair 2011

Warning: Self congratulatory photographer ahead!
I don’t usually post on Friday, everybody is thinking weekend, trying to finish up the work and go. If you go this weekend to the 2010 North Carolina State Fair, you can see this photo in the Amateur Photography Competition, Scott Building. Yep, won a ribbon, 3rd Prize. Now I know how 4-H kids feel. Just wait till next year!
