For the past nine years, the staff of California State Senator Darrell Steinberg has held a fair to attract children (and their parents) who are interested in summer activities. The most recent Passport to Summer Youth Fair was held at Southside Park in downtown Sacramento on May 8, 2010. The folks that participated this year were greeted by pleasant weather and a chorus of community members who offered free performances and activities.

For those of you who are interested, I shot the following images with a Nikon D300 and three lenses: the Nikon 85mm f/1.8 (which is an amazing medium telephoto with beautiful out of focus blur), the Nikon 28-200 f/3.5-5.6 (which is crap, but the best I’ve got if I need the reach), and the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 (which is super wide and generally very sharp).

Please leave comments if you are so inclined (anyone can comment without an account, as long as they are human).

Nearly all of the images on this site have been taken with one of three cameras: a Nikon D300, Olympus OM-G, or a Holga 120N.

The following set includes images captured during the past five months with all three cameras.  The differences between the images are clearly apparent: the ones in color are from the D300 (and were all captured at Dillon Beach, CA), the hazy square black and white ones are from the Holga (which were captured in Sacramento), and the rectangular b&w images are from the Olympus 35mm (they were taken in San Francisco).  Comments are appreciated!
