A Blast From The Past

We went to Kutztown Folk Festival last weekend and despite the rain when we left the house it was clearing as we arrived. They were hit hard this year with a lot of rain. I’m sure the vendors were hurt on a number of days. But when it cleared the crowds came out. It’s a great festival to buy gifts and crafts from another time, eat delicious food, and enjoy the demonstrations.

This year I was interested in people as much as possible and I wanted to make the photographs look like they were from times past and monochrome. As usual most people would simply not get out of my way, but I expected that, after all, I forgot to send the memo that I was coming. So how could they possibly have known my plans. But we did see and meet some very friendly people despite their roadblock imitations. I thought it was funny, that many of the folks in costume had phones visible in their pockets. It was a cool place to see the times collide.
