"Between the lights, the sounds, and the magic in the air... Photographing the fair is documenting more than just cool pictures. It's about the feeling you get when you look back at them. Watching your kids' eyes light up when they see the rides and animals for the first time. Remembering how you felt as a child and now experiencing it with your own kids. It's a special kind of magic when I get to document people at the fair. It's exciting. It's colorful. It's REAL PURE JOY!" ~Sarah Schultz
