16:100 Strangers - Fairs are about food

This picture is 16 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

Just spending the day wandering around the rural May Fair at Michelago was not to be possible: I soon found myself called in to assist my daughter with a food stall. There I met Ingrid who also was a volunteer worker for the day and who has lived in the nearby Tinderry Mountains for the past twelve months.

Needless to say, between customers, I told Ingrid about my involvement in the “100 Strangers” project and, as she still was listening to the end, I proceeded to seek her involvement. Equally needless to say, she agreed and (between customers) I was able to grab the photos you see here. I was glad we did this fairly early in the day, as the stall became very busy later and it would have been much more difficult. I'm also pleased to say the many satisfied customers helped to raise much-needed funds for the local Community Association.

I would suggest viewing on black (press Z).

Thank you very much Erin. Ingrid said she liked it and it was a good day - my daughter is a local resident, so expect more shots from the area. :)

Hi George. Glad you are continuing with 100 strangers. I still am more comfortable in Flickr, and am involved in quite a few groups there. Ipernity is OK but it is difficult to keep up with two sites.

Thank you, Gillian, and my apology for not replying to your prior note. I really must get out and do more portraits, they're challenging but satisfying.
