Step right up!

To be honest, I have never heard a carnie utter those words. I wonder if this guy has heard of sunblock? Methinks....no.

Carnies wanna have fun too, ya know...

This was my only mild success with speed blur shots at The Big Ex this year. Not that much speed blur, but at least I captured the elation of a carnie riding the 'ole pirate ship.

Carny arms

That man gets a lot of sun....

Return of the angry carny!

Short kids trying to sneak on the pirate ship. Angry carny is having none of it.
I think I've created a new meme. Look out intarwebz, angry carny gon' git'cha!

Angriest carny at The Big Ex?

Methinks yes. This guy was not taking any crap from short kids trying to get on the pirate ship. He had his hands full.

The 'ole spit 'n' polish

This ride was closed for....sanding? I'm used to seeing carnies kicking rides, not delicately sanding the midway patina off 'em, so it goes.

Hey you!

...with the face!

I can hook you up with a sweet stuffed toy ovah here

Talk to the carnie's hand

Whether or not the face is listening...usually not.

I love this guy, so expressive!

Planet of the Gapes

Gaping pie hole, that is.

It was too easy, all I had to do was point my telephoto lens at this guy and wait for the shot.
