                                  THE BRISTOL FAIRE OF YESTERDAY

                                                                                    

I HAVE BEEN GIVEN MANY DIFFERENT ASSIGNMENTS OVER MY YEARS, BUT ONE THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST FUN TO WORK ON
WAS DOING A PICTURE STORY ON THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THE LIVES OF PEOPLE LIVING  AND PLAYING THE PARTS OF PEOPLE FROM
THE YEARS 1700 THRU 1800s  IN A PART OF ENGLAND KNOWN AS BRISTOL, WHERE EVERY YEAR A FEST WAS HELD,
BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER TO EAT, DRINK, AND BE MERRY.
THESE PHOTOS WILL SHOW YOU WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE IN THOSE YEARS OF THE PAST.

 

                                    

                                  A MERRY DAY AT BRISTOL IN VIDEO

               Here is a video that will show you how much fun is waiting for you.

                                                    DINO'S ARE BACK

THANKS TO THE BROOKFEILD ZOO, OUTSIDE CHICAGO, THEY HAD A SHOW OF MOVING DINOSAURS, WHICH WERE SO REAL LOOKING
WITH THEIR MOVEMENTS , THAT THEY HAD EVERYONE THINKING THEY WERE REAL.

                                                 BOOBS AND BEER VIDEO

IF YOU LIKE BEER AND YOU LIKE BOOBS, THEN YOU WILL LIKE THIS VIDEO, IN A GERMAN BEER FEST THERE WAS MORE THEN JUST
BEER BOUNCEING AROUND AS YOU WILL SEE.

                                         WONDERS OF THE SKIES

DURING MY YEARS IN PHOTOGRAPHY , I WAS ABLE TO COVER MANY AIR STUNT SHOWS ACROSS THE U.S.A. , AS WELL AS IN OTHER
COUNTYS. I THINK FLYING STUNT PLANES ARE THE GREATEST THINGS TO PHOTOGRAPH, AND WHEN YOU CAN FIND PLANES FROM
THE EARLY 1900'S TO CAPTURE , WELL THIS IS THE BEST.

                                              SHAREING A  CRACKER

THIS GROUP OF GROUND SQUIRRELS WERE LUCKY TO  FIND A RITZ CRACKER AND THEN THEY GOT INTO A FIGHT AS TO HOW THEY WOULD GET IT THRU THE HOLE AND INTO THEIR NEST TO EAT.

                  THE CARSON-BARNES CIRCUS OF YESTERDAY AND TODAY

                                                                    

THE ONE KIND OF LIFE THAT HAS BEEN AROUND ALMOST AS LONG AS MAN, IS THE CIRCUS.  AS YEARS HAVE GONE BY, SO HAS THE CIRCUS.
IN THE EARLY DAYS AROUND THE WORLD THERE WERE MORE THEN 200 CIRCUS SHOWS WORKING.
BUT DUE TO THE COST AND PROBLEMS WE ARE DOWN TO LESS THEN 50 AROUND THE WORLD WITH ONLY PART OF THEM STILL
WORKING AS TRAVELING TENT SHOWS.
ONE CIRCUS THAT HAS HAD IT'S SHARE OF BAD LUCK HAS BEEN THE CARSON-BARNES CIRCUS. HERE I WILL SHOW YOU HOW
LIFE CAN CHANGE. I GOT TO DO A STORY ON THE CARSON-BARNES CIRCUS TWICE.

WE GO BACK TO ABOUT 1990 WITH THESE BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOS OF THE CARSON CIRCUS AS IT MOVED FROM TOWN TO TOWN IN TWO DAY STANDS. THIS WAS AT A TIME WHEN THE CIRCUS WAS ALMOST AT IT'S END.
IT WAS VERY RUN DOWN AND IT WAS ALMOST A SLAVE LABOR CAMP. THE TENT WAS IN VERY BAD CONDITION AND THE TRAVEL TRUCKS WERE ALMOST AT THE END OF MOVING. THE WORKERS AND PERFORMERS HAD LITTLE ROOMS BUILT INTO OLD TRAILERS TO LIVE AND
SLEEP IN AND BATHING WAS DONE OUTSIDE.

SOME YEARS LATER, AROUND 2004,THE CARSON-BARNES CIRCUS MADE A BIG TURN AROUND AND REBUILT THE CIRCUS COMPLETELY -
NEW TENT, NEW TRUCKS, NEW LIVING VANS AND NEW ACTS.
IN MY SECOND STORY ASSIGNMENT ON THE CARSON-BARNES CIRCUS, I FOUND IT TO NOW BE ONE OF GREAT REMAINING CIRCUS SHOWS TODAY.

                                                           THE KISS.

THE KISS , AS SEEN UP CLOSE, NEED WE SAY ANY MORE.

FIRST CLICK ON THIS VIDEO, AND THEN LOOK AT THE PICTURES TO SEE WHAT LOVE IS ALL ABOUT.

LOVE IS ALWAYS IN THE AIR AND IF YOU KEEP YOUR CAMERA EYE ALWAYS OPEN, YOU MAY BE SURPRISED AT WHAT YOU  MAY GET
ON FILM OF YOUNG LOVERS.

                                     FLYING DAREDEVILS OF THE SKY     

AIRSHOWS ARE ALWAYS FULL OF TRILLS, AND AS THESE PICTURES WILL SHOW , SOME OF THESE DAREDEVIL FLYERS
COME TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT.

CARS, CARS, CARS, WHAT BEAUTIFUL THINGS THEY ARE , AS WE VIEW THESE CLASSIC CARS OF THE PAST.

Some of the best looking cars ever made were made before 1960, as we see here in these pictures of old classic cars.
