Me and my fellow band mates played a show at the common ground fair over the weekend. After the show, I thought it would be a good opportunity to break through a comfort zone restriction I have always had about photographing strangers and walk around with my camera for a while. I am not used to photographing strangers and can honestly say I have never done much of it at all; despite this, it was an enlightening experience. The Common ground fair is a large gathering of artisans, musicians and people who share a common goal for peace, respect and responsibility to our resources and a love for our natural world. These are some shots taken around the fair along with some of the recurring themes found.
Image themes: Cultural traditions, political and social views, human interest, music, portraits and agricultural heritage.
