"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever...it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything."

The poem I picked
The County Fair
(Laurie Dawson)
The county fair is a bright balloon
Carried on a string,
An ice cream cone and popcorn stand,
A many-splendored thing.
The county fair is a hundred things
All to see and do . . .
A daring act, a flower show.
It's cotton candy, too.
The county fair is the midway,
A kewpie doll for a prize . . .
A shooting match, a thrilling ride
For every age and size.
The county fair is blue ribbon day
For every canning mom
Whose jar is judged the best of all . . .
Such gay ones to choose from.
The county fair is the farmer's day
With prize steers in the rings;
The best crops, the fowls, the pets . . .
The county fair's many things.
