title: the "other" boston tea party

the tea party express rolled into town last wednesday. i'm not going to say anything else about it. allow my photos speak for me.
these colors don't run.
because they're all white.

this seems to be a weekend for fairs. in a true testament to the nature of america, this one is completely different from yesterday's. instead of samosas, funnel cake. instead of traditional dance, freakshows. instead of mehendi, face painting. well, maybe it's not so different after all...
if someone were to ask me to sum up the nature of america, i would point them to a carnival such as this one. this is what it is. just in case any of you were wondering, these photos were taken at the great allentown fair in allentown, pa (where my friend meg goes to muhlenberg college!). the fair will be open until labor day (cripes, that's tomorrow!), so get your butt in gear if you want to visit it.

today i went to the indo-american fair in west windsor. it was a fascinating cross-section of new jersey's indian population. people apparently come from all over the state to go to this fair in mercer county park. there was a stage with dance performaces, vendors selling saree and chat foods, and fun things like mehendi artists and bouncy castles (an odd combination, i know). thanks to the new lens i got some colorful shots!
the fair continues into tomorrow (sunday, sept. 6th), so if you're in the area i highly reccomend you visit! click the link at the top of this post for more information.
