I visited Vancouver’s PNE (Pacific National Exhibition) for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Ever since catching two quick photos from a moving vehicle (don’t worry; I wasn’t the one driving!) last year, I’ve been interested in it as a place to take photos. The two-image colour piece (shown fourth in this post) is what I saw from the truck window, and the rest of the photos are ones taken at the fair in August.
The fair is a place of vibrant colours, and also strong lines and motion. Colour photography seemed like an obvious choice, but black and white is always closest to my heart, so I had to do that, too. I’ll be glad to return to the fair next year and try these subjects again.

Love the photos! I’m sorry I didn’t make it to the fair this year. We may still go to Playland — my daughter likes going on all the scary rides!
Thank you, Leslie! I couldn’t believe how high in the air some of those rides go. The ones for smaller children look more reasonable, but still … yikes!
Great photos, as always, Tricia. I’m glad you did both colour and B&W. You give a real feeling of being there.
Thanks so much, Mick! Very glad you enjoyed the photo.
very very creative and pleasant.
i like a lot first and fifth ones
Thank you, Paolo!
