Here are just a few of the five hundred or so shots I took -- I'll load the rest on Flickr later this week.
We actually had a valid reason for going to this thing - my wife has a line of silver, fairy-inspired jewelry that she has been selling for the past ten years or so. We had a booth at the festival and I got to play photographer for most of the weekend.
Moss man checks out our booth.
This is about a third of the acreage that the festival takes up -- about 15,000 people go through the gates over the weekend.
It's really a family-friendly event - no alcohol is served, the costumes are modest (for the most part) and security is pretty tight.
My little one talks about fairy festival for the whole year - it rivals Christmas around our house.
That said, there were lots of folks willing to let me shoot their ink in varying states of undress.
First, the food -- found a pizza joint in town without a liquor license -- so they just give it away with every slice purchased.
We frequented this establishment - frequently.
Beauty
and the Beast
Hula girl - she was fun to shoot - more pics of her ink can be seen on Flickr
Pipes require great lungs.
This guy is obviously a fan....
Spotted a couple of TBH'rs at the fest...see if you can guess who I thought they were..
Random shots
And just to keep it topical .... should these be culled??
