Occurring over August 9 - 13, the 2023 Western Montana Fair offers a variety of events for the community. There are agricultural competitions, carnival rides and fried food.
Out of curiosity, I had wanted to walk the Missoula fair grounds with my camera to see what the event held. I hadn’t been to a county fair since I was 10 years old, making it 27 years since last experiencing one. I thought this would be a novel experience.
The scene was overwhelming; colors assaulting my monochromatic sensibilities. A cacophony of grinding gears and yelling youth. The gobs of grease from fried food. The sweet smell of cotton candy. It was a formidable ant hill of sprawling activity.
I walked the grounds, criss-crossing and examining, looking for interactions to align within the layers of each scene, watchful for strange occurrences.
I would later regret having attended but a single evening, and shooting only one roll. I consider this the initial installment within a broader document on the Western Montana Fair.
