Tis the season, I guess – I’ve been shooting quite a few of these lately. Most were on assignment, and strangely, almost all musical acts. I didn’t have much time to wander around the fairs this year, but managed to grab a few non-stage shots. Lately shooting concerts is just frustrating – the “security” seem to make it a priority to give a photographer as much hassle as possible. Seriously, I didn’t want to stay and watch Huey Lewis any longer than necessary, but when my pass is good for two songs, at least give me that.

I’m a big fan of demolition derbies and made sure to at least get to one this year. Photos from the Bluegrass Festival, Eastern Idaho State Fair, and Caribou County demolition derby:
