Sometimes I get this urge to go somewhere that I can't get into.... Sometimes its alomost more than an urge..... i will go by these fenced off places and nearly stop.... and nearly get out... and nearly jump the fence and look around and well... I don't know what else.
Well this time I did it. I took a class in photography a while ago, and the professor spoke about getting into places just by wearing a big camera on your chest. ..... so..... I thought that I would give it a try.
Target: The Spencer Fair
Time: around 7:00 am
I was not very nervous, but, I really thought that it wouldn't work. I walked up to the front gate (Chain link with razor wire on top for effect) wearing a Nikon D40 X with a vr zoom lens. It was large but in my mind not official looking. I put the sun filter on it just for intimidation. There was a man riding by in a golf cart. He politely stopped and started telling me that he was waiting for the inmates that were coming to clean up. The whole time he was unlocking the gate. I was polite back, and never mentioned why I was there. He wished me good picture taking and I walked into the park. Most of the time, I was alone. I did pass one lady that offered me a coffee and was unexpectantly nice for that hour in the morning.
I walked a bit and decided to go into the barn area. I didn't realize that the people displaying their livestock actually slept right there with them. They didn't seem very happy to see me with my camera so I just quickly walked through. I did manage to snap a couple pictures though.
