Not that i&#8217;m complaining &#8211; it&#8217;s been a blast being able to work on the books (more on that later), but I was beginning to feel a little atrophy on shooting and I needed to get out and try some stuff. <\/p>\n<p>Tripod and camera in hand I took off to the fair to see if I can get some cool shots.  Thought i&#8217;d use some for an upcoming book, but just resolved myself to just go and stretch the muscles photographically just for fun.  If something came out, great.  If not &#8211; no big.  In that &#8211; Photography is a lot like Fishing,. <\/p>\n<p>Want to see more?

I have to say, I enjoyed talking to the people a little bit more than shooting them.
