Thursday Brings the Memes

I really wish this wasn't so blurry, but it totally depicts the exact moment I took it. My kids had never been to a carnival, and they were so excited to be there with my husband. He is self employed and sometimes it is hard for him to do things like the park, zoo, library, farm with us. So whenever he can do something with us we are all ecstatic. We had meet some friends and I was walking behind talking to my girlfriend, screaming over the noise of the carnival, watching my kids get caught up in the excitement when I noticed them all holding hands. I touched my friends arm and gestured to them. She said, "cute" and I snapped the picture. It was all so noisy and busy all around us but that moment just paused for me.

These shots are all from the local Carnival that came through town two weeks ago. I shot so many pictures that weekend and they look good in color, b&w and sepia.
I love them in Sepia because, while I am 42 and we did have color in our photos when I was a child, the sepia is like my clouded memories of those times.
