a annual cleveland festival devoid of any corporate sponsors adds a surreal feel to this largely popular local celebration that features local and regional music, arts and alternative politics.

most if not all vendors are local and have mostly original art as well as music and of course, food at a very reasonable price.

nearly half of my shots consisted of the peoples that attended the event and the the rest with the 20th year anniversary of the return of "ital" to the HSF.

reorganized the "rock/punk/pop" gallery and created a sub gallery that has recent rock-shots at the top. (the most recent rock-shots are usually found in the most recent year gallery where after a couple weeks they are sent to the rock-shots
gallery..)

the hessler street fair happened this weekend like it has
been doing since 1969. some refer to the event as
"hippie-fest" but i actually have a fun time spending
an afternoon checking out the performers. the absence of
advertisement is a added bonus to the eye.

someone handed me a flyer describing a
"photographer-competition" of sorts but i’m not sure
i’ll send them anything cause well, i don’t like losing..

hessler gallery.

the hessler street fair has been going on since 1969. the only local-event i know that does not accept corporate sponsorship which is a welcome relief to the eye..
