MUSIC SETS US ALL FREE

I have been documenting the “Fair” for a number of years, and have taken a few years off for sure. I was lucky enough to get myself a good little pass to cover the fair this year, and some of the images are below.

AND THE TRUTH ALSO SETS US FREE – I am not one for shying away from the truth. The “North Texas Fair” was originally called the “North Texas State Fair” until the assholes at the Texas State Fair decided to see if they could flex their muscles and get little old Denton, Texas, to capitulate. Not surprisingly, yes we did. What else is new?

As yo can see, things have certainly changed over the years! I would say the corporate environment has taken hold of this little old event, and before long we won’t even recognize it at all.

My action images left a bit to be desired – I’m tough to please, but the music always brings me back to my roots, the reason WHY I dropped into this rabbit hole adventure called professional photography.

It also brings out a sentimental streak from the earliest days riding shotgun to shows with Lisa Rollins, getting backstage with the big dogs, like Steve Warnier. Those were heady times. Rolling Stone was still Rolling Stone, and the future of rock photography was still bright.
