Go For a Spin

Anyone want to go for a spin?  Normally, I would answer this question with a yes! However, at a neighborhood carnival, I would have to pass.  I love watching the rides twist and turn with the flashing lights and glowing neon.  But my inner ear, stomach, and I have an understanding – everything will be fine as long as I do not get on any ride like this.  And I’m ok with that.  I’ll let the kids have their fun and I’ll just stand back and take a lot of photographs.  That way, everyone goes home happy.

This was the Ali Baba Magic Carpet ride at the St. Dominic Days Festival last weekend in Brookfield, Wisconsin.

Day 293 of my 365 photo a day project.

Emotion. Mood. Feelings. This is what I capture through my photographs. Whether it is landscapes, architectural elements, still life, or macros - it is a very personal journey as my own fears, triumphs, beliefs, and shortcomings are exposed with each photo. In the end, it is all about telling compelling stories.
