An exhibition of images.
Hello everyone, I'm really excited to announce that I'll be showing a selection of images from my Kansas fair project, at the Strecker-Nelson Gallery in Manhattan, KS. The show is from June 11- July 11. The prints will be for sale and will be framed in frames that were custom made for this show. I hope some of you can make it over to the gallery to take a look. The Strecker-Nelson is a fantastic gallery that represents artists from all over the state of Kansas. If you have any questions about the show or purchasing prints, please feel free to contact me at brian@briangoodmanphoto.com

Wallace County Fair - Sharon Springs, KS
After photographing the Finney Co. Fair in Garden City, I made my way up to Sharon Springs, KS for the Wallace Co. Fair. Sharon Springs is the furthest out, most remote little town(population 748) that I've visited so far on this project. It was very hot when I arrived, the sky was a deep blue and was filled with huge white clouds. It's desolate out there and I found it amazingly beautiful.
Sharon Springs is host to one of the most unique fairs I've ever seen. The town owns all of the rides at the fairground and on the nights of the carnival, every ride and game are run voluntarily by members of the community. Pretty darn cool.
I spent the day photographing the different fair events. There was a sort of rodeo for kids. I wish I could remember what they called it. Something like, "Little Bucks" ha! I'm sure that's wrong. Also, spent some time shooting their annual turtle race. That was a first. You'd think there would be a lot of action at a turtle race. Nope, turtles are slow. It's hard to make interesting images of people watching turtles sitting in the grass..
The carnival that night was really something to see. The town practically tripled in size as everyone in the county came out to the fair. I couldn't get over how incredible the sky was out there that night. I ran around fast and furious to catch the last little remaining color in the sky. So far, this fair has been my favorite.
Sharon Springs and the Wallace Co. Fair should be on every Kansan's "Places to visit" list.
