Carnival View

Old Car copyright 2009 by Anna Surface

I hope everyone (USA) had an enjoyable and safe Fourth of July weekend. We went to a small town carnival and car show at the Wamego, Kansas city park. This is an annual event. There was more of a crowd around the beautiful classic cars instead of the carnival rides. The carnival wasn’t like it used to be where all the rides were filled with lines of people waiting. Many of the rides would sit empty for awhile and maybe one or two would take a spin. The tickets for per ride was $3.00! Preston and I bought two tickets to ride the Ferris Wheel. I don’t care to ride any rides, even the Ferris Wheel, but up we went, the only customers with our cameras in hand. I found it hard to concentrate while spinning backwards swinging way up high while trying to snap shots. I got photos of equipment, poles and bolts up close. One bolted pole was wrapped in Duct tape that I had taken a very good picture of… and I wonder what that held!

I was a good distance away when I took this shot. The weather was cloudy and overcast having rained and stormed the night before.

I noticed a good number of people, children too, going barefoot.

These two enjoyed this ride so much, they took it several times and they were the only cumstomers.

While in the Ferris Wheel, I took shots of the town, Wamego, Kansas. I slightly posterized the photo. :)

For another view of this scene, see Small Town Carnival at our other photoblog, Abstract Reflections. I’ll be posting digital photographic art of classic cars and carousel horses at Abstract Reflections for the next several weeks.

Anna and I took pictures and video at the Wamego, KS park on the afternoon of the 4th of July. There was a huge car show. This photo of the DeSoto was taken in full daylight with many people around it. In processing, I did my best to showcase only the car.

Abandoned

For the past 18 months, I have photographed many abandoned buildings, houses, farms, farm equipment, cars, trucks, remnants of towns, and dreams. Some things I had photographed are gone now, as they were torn down, razed, and returned to dirt. In the Abandoned video, there are photographs of abandoned things combined with mini movie clips by Preston. I had chosen only a small collection out of the large amount of abandoned buildings, houses, so on that I have photograph, and there are some photos that I haven’t posted that are in the video. I tend to be a recorder photographer of the past, of what has been abandoned, as I appreciate history, life lived, dreams dreamed, memories, humanity, nature along with the cycle of birth and death.

Watch the Abandoned video and see what you think and feel as to: What does abandoned mean to you?

Old Blue Car in Rural Decay

Old Blue Car copyright by Anna Surface

North of Harveyville, Kansas is a nonexistent town called Bradford on a country road. Perhaps this town was settled long ago because of a railroad and the Dragoon Creek but now abandoned with truly only the name to remain. There is what appears to be one lived-in house and rural decay on a property where a trailer burnt to the ground along with an old blue car. The creek is filled with debris that will not decompose and with a sign stating dumping not allowed.

One of the many old cars found in Vermillion, Kansas, and with this junk car… what is left resting against the trees.

Old Cars of Vermillion, Kansas

old-car-collage

I believe the cars of long ago had a lot more character than the ones of today.  Now-a-days vehicles are broken down into categories such as sedan, mini-van, SUV, and truck.  Other than the category they are in, they all look the same.
