Description
Life as a carny might involve a lot of waiting for your next participant to take their chance to win.Looks simple, just throw a wood hoop over the top of a large bottle of Pepsi Cola and have it fall to the table. The hoop is plenty large enough to fit and the bottles are spaced far enough apart to make an easy toss, winning you, or your date, a fine prize. The plushy toy you win might be easier to just buy from the man, than win. That doesn't stop many from trying their luck, and good luck to you.
"There's a sucker born every minute", attributed to P.T. Barnum
Taken with a Zeiss Contarex with 55mm F1.4 Planar, on Ilford FP4 135mm panchromatic film in 1971.

Ever the rebel, the carny is having a laugh at the owners of the booth. Can you spot it? In that world then tatoos were rarer, but some carny folk had them. Today he would be covered with them.
He appears not disturbed by me and my camera, but he is keenly aware of me. It's in the eyes.
More to come, watchers will be notified.
