A Trip To the Fair

I'm going to jump right back in as if three years haven't passed silently, ok? Ok.

15 August 2015

2015 marks the 125th anniversary of the Orange County Fair. Growing up in San Diego, Del Mar's annual fair was a huge part of my childhood. The Orange County Fair seemed like it was cut from the same cloth -- carnival rides, disgustingly delicious food, games of chance, nostalgic musical acts nightly (Huey Lewis & the News, anyone?), juried craft + agriculture contests, the list goes on...

I was so excited that we were able to visit the fair on this special anniversary, it was better than I imagined it would be + brought me right back to the summer fairs of my youth.

I'm already looking forward to next year.

half-frame hoarding

Recently, with the amount of attention downtown's Cecil Hotel has been getting, I went back into my archives to try and find the one picture I had taken of the Cecil a year or two ago. I looked through several rolls and came up empty handed. What I realized while looking is that I had hoarded a surprising number of photographs. Filed them away and didn't think twice about them. I just couldn't believe it! The following photographs are, as my memory serves, only now getting their due. Each taken with my Olympus half-frame camera, all during the fall of 2011. Enjoy.
