Fair Pictures in Calhoun GA
Last week I photographed the pageants at the NWGA Regional Fair. This was the thirteenth year I’ve done this. It was one of the first jobs I got when I started doing photography on a professional basis. It’s always nice to see a whole slew of dolks I haven’t seen in a while.
A couple of nights Michelle Brown was the emcee. The first year I photographed the pageants Michelle was in the 7th grade. Her mom, Melissa, and I were talking about that befor the pageants got going. I remember out of about 200 contestants that year hers was one of twop or three contestants who’s pictures I screwed up. As a “make-up” I did a studio session for them and got to know them. Since then, our paths have crossed several times. I’ve photographed Michelle several times, she worked for me one summer while in High School and I generally see them at the Fair.
Here’s a picture with of me and Michelle, one of my first subjects, 13 years later. Boy do I feel old… looking it too.
