[Leica] The Oklahoma State Fair, By Me

[ricc at mindspring.com (Ric Carter)]

Yes Robert!

Nice stuff, especially the ultrawide night shots. Are you going back?

You photos could have easily been the North Carolina State Fair. It's  
in less than a month, and I can't wait. And that's not just because  
they always have it on my birthday;^)
