Artscape Images
These are quick and dirty. I wasn't going for artistic value here:
Festival Food - Maryland Style
Strolling through the crowds
Art Cars
Freak Show (the booth - NOT the people!!). I just thought they were interesting in a very cool way. Notice the little boy's mohawk. Dad's entire lip was one big set of piercing rings, as were his nose and ears.
Beers and a live boa. You never know what you're gonna see.
All American Window. This is my neighbor's house, just off the main festival street.
And Lastly,
We are not afraid. The summer of terror threats here and abroad. I loved the juxtaposition of the watermelon rind, which is truly the purest form of summer pleasure and innocence, with the ominous poster - especially with the "Job" flyer attached.
Deanne - Ah - not so!! In that first picture, I cropped out the sign next door for the Jamaican booth. Jerk everything and curry goat roti to boot! There were at least two big Jamaican food booths. And it was pretty clean this year compared to previous years. Yes - it was like living on Portobello road for 4 days of markets.
People really put off getting a summer job this year, huh? It's nearly August and there are only two tabs left.
