Oh come on! You’re just angry because you didn’t think of it first! I’ll assume you get the reference… If you don’t understand this reference – buy the shirt anyway. Especially if you believe it’s true. I know I do. jL And for those who didn’t spot the reference… try this :)

Carnival workers travel a rough road, but they like the freedom of the highway. The still of night is torn by the clang of steel as the midway rides are erected. Although they laugh as they work, most are cold tired and hungry. Some do not have adequate clothing to ward off an unexpected autumn chill; many have not slept or eaten a decent meal in over 18 hours. When the rides come down, they will be on the road again, heading for another town, another sea of faces, and another day in the life of a “carnie.” This is another photo essay I photographed on my own time while working in South Carolina. Assigned an allotted 30 minutes to “grab a feature photo” of the county fair for the newspaper, I talked to a couple of carnies about dropping by to hang out and take pictures later that evening after I finished my shift. I continued to “drop by” every evening until the carnival packed up and left town. I then followed them to their next stop, some 50 miles away and spent the weekend there to finish up the story. It was an adventure. Photo caption: Timmy James rests for a minute while loading heavy steel frames onto a truck. After working the carnival all day, he and everyone else must tear down the rides through the night and into the morning as they prepare to head to the next town. This photo was taken at about 2 in the morning. The work is extremely difficult and dangerous. This is another story about Poverty in America. Photograph sale proceeds from this series will be donated to the United Way.

In labor, friends comfort a carnival worker, as she is about to be loaded into an ambulance for a trip to the local hospital. The people in the background are carnival workers waiting in line for breakfast before the show starts later in the afternoon. Several of them were upset that I was taking pictures, but the group of carnies who knew me intervened on my behalf.

“It’s easier here, says 28-year-old Lisa with her boyfriend Curtis. She describes the carnies as her family. She likes the lifestyle better than the “outside world,” because people don’t discriminate. “People are very accepting here,” Lisa says.
-
Curtis makes his way from the modular trailer he and Lisa rent from the carnival owners, to the cantina for breakfast. The rent for the small one room trailer is high compared to his hourly minimum wage. He and Lisa forgo electricity, and heat and water because they can’t afford it. Often times they must choose between getting a motel to take a shower once a week or saving their money for food. Most of the carnies use the bathrooms at local businesses to wash themselves at the sink.
-
Lisa often spends time tending to the children of her friends, while they are working the various rides and game booths. The owners of the rides and games generally own fully equipped motor homes, where their children can escape the heat, or freezing temperatures of seasonal weather, while receiving home schooling.

Many of the carnival workers I met eat at the cantinas located on the fairgrounds. Their diet consist mostly of fries, hot dogs, hamburgers and other not-so-nutritional foods. Without transportation, they are basically isolated from groceries stores where they might find more variety and a better bargain for their money.

This is Mattie setting up the ride that ended the life of the former ride foreman. As Mattie described the accident, two metal cars, weighing several hundred pounds each, dropped loose and struck him on the head killing him instantly. Though being a ride foreman, or “first man” is worth a little more money, Mattie wasn’t happy about achieving his new status over the death of a friend.

Taking his dog along for the ride, Lewis drives a friend to a nearby truck stop where the two will get a hot meal. Lewis is one of a few carnival workers who have a car, so he is in high demand when someone needs a ride. Without a steady work position with the carnival he follows the show from town to town getting work when he can. He sees himself as a survivor, resigned to the realities of his hard life. “When things get really bad, you make fun of it. You can’t let things get you down because you know things could be worse,” he said.

Taken at the working horse exhibition on Churchill Island. It was mid day so the light was not too great. Think this works OK in B/W. The focus was on the driver.

What a calamity of water craft in this image. I know the surf life saving boys put themselves through some rigorous training sessions BUT trying to out run a coal ship and two tugs … I think I’ve seen everything now. This image was taken 28th December 2008 from the Stockton side of Newcastle Harbour in NSW Australia. The weather was clear, hot with perfect skies. The tugs as usual were busy escorting the coal ships in and out of the port, and people were fishing, picknicking and having fun. This image is a little deceiving though as the surf boat really wasn’t in the path of the coal ship and was closer to shore than what it appears. I was practicing with my new Sigma DG 120-400 mm lens that was attached to the Nikon D80. The shutter speed was 1/250, Aperture F10 with a focal length of 270 mm. I took this shot as soon as I got out of the car and so it was hand held. I am most impressed with this lens and its optical stabilizer capabilities.

Model: Missy / Makeup and Hair: Rebecca Allen / Styling: Bianka Phillips The shoot that could have gone horribly wrong! / I left my flash trigger at home, so had to operate with the modeling light on one flash turned up to maximum. I felt so awful and unprofessional, but luckily these girls are awesome and patient and didn’t mind! Slowly the pictures are coming together after a bit of post work. Photoshop is awesome! Enhances what little light I had :)

Taken at Railay Beach in Thailand in November 2008. I’m not sure I followed the story exactly, but apparently in this cave lives a goddess that mariners like to keep happy lest she send angry seas their way. So they bring her penises. Lots and lots of penises.
