Yesterday, I took a trip to the Ventura County fairgrounds to do some people watching and watch some live bands who play tribute to Johnny Cash. If you like hot rods, rockabilly style, Johnny Cash, Pin Up models and sunshine...this was the place to be.
I took my camera with me and most everyone was willing to pose for a photograph. In fact, a lot of the pin up models trying out for the competition were more than happy to strike a pose and do whatever I asked them to for a shot. I had a great time taking pictures of these ladies and processing the photos to look like it was a step back in time.
The sun was out, there were great bands playing and everyone was in great spirits. A good time had by all.
A big thank you to everyone who took the time to pose for me during the day. I appreciate you watching me mock up what I wanted you to do and doing it with enthusiasm and style. I was pretty impressed at your willingness to kneel down to the car level in your 6 inch heels, pretend to check your make up in the mirror, turn around to show your stockings, pose in pin up style next to a car and do it all with a smile. I am not one to tell people how to pose for a shot so I appreciate the natural style you brought to the photograph.

I took a trip to the date festival to visit my entertainer friends John and Ellyn. They do a traveling bubble show for fairs around the country for the kids. They are both great people and I love being around them and seeing their show was a treat. It's not the easiest thing to travel around the country and be "on" several times a day doing the same show over and over while performing as if it's the first time.
