Without exception, every year my first stop at the State Fair is the Fine Arts Building, which showcases juried art work of Minnesota artists. I am always impressed by the array of talent, and I spend a very long time looking at the paintings, photography, sculptures and textiles. For each photo I took very careful notes on title, size, medium, and artist. . . of course, I lost the list before the end of the day! Why didn't I use my iPhone for notes?!
It is difficult to select a favorite among them but this one was high on my list.

I can see why it was a favorite. What a great photo!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Kate. The younger generation does everything on their phones....Me, I am still searching for pen and paper.
ReplyDeleteI like this photo a lot too. Tough little guy.
Quite a portrait. There's a story here too.

ReplyDeletereally cool.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this . . . you've made my morning.
ReplyDeleteGreat cropping you've made here! What a fabulous expression.
ReplyDeletePeople think of state fairs as places for food, farm animals, and rides. Thank you for highlighting the arts.
ReplyDeleteThis one looks like something out of Little Rascals.
ReplyDeleteThis feels like something from our childhood.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo. I like the tones.
ReplyDeleteThe boy has a special look, a bit older as his age I think.
ReplyDeleteA boy and his gang of Beagles, how fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLove this. Would like to have browsed.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I would do the same if I went to the fair. Too bad you lost your notes, I would have loved to know more about this photography.
ReplyDeleteI assume it's from several decades ago? A very strong image anyway. I can understand why it was among your favorites.
That kid has one deadly look! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great shot; it looks unstaged and natural.
ReplyDeleteI sympathize with your lost notes. I took a long walk with a ranger last month, took lots of notes, carefully shoved them into a (too shallow) pocket, and lost everything.
