Hi Mark,

These are great pics. I have some photos of Luna Park in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia but these beat mine hands down.

Very nice. I especially enjoy the photo shown here. It's so graphic and surreal.

These are wonderful. For more carny photos please check out my friend's photo-essay book, Carny: Americana On The Midway by Virginia Lee Hunter.
Thank you.

flickr is a constant reminder of just how inferior of a photographer I am :-)

These look like HDR photos. Note the capture of parts of the image that would normally be dark, and the lively colours.

I just discovered the fun of photographing carnival sideshows at New York's Feast of San Gennaro. (see obligatory self-promoting link if curious).

One thing worth bearing in mind is that the owners of some attractions aren't always thrilled to have people taking pictures of their stalls. It looks as if Notley Hawkins took the time to build up a relationship with the people he photographed, which is probably worth doing, even if only for reasons of politeness.
