Before the rain came down

Last Call street festival 2015


Each year the Ohio Brew Week is held in Athens, Ohio. It celebrates beer made in the Buckeye state. The week is capped by a street fair attended by thousands.

This year the street fair, named "Last Call," began with high humidity and temperatures around 90F, and was repeatedly interrupted by rain. Which seemed to do nothing to discourage those who had come to see, be seen, and guzzle suds.

Before the rain came down

A really wide-angle lens is a lot of fun when making street pictures, but it is not for the shy. It's surprising (to me, anyway, every time) how happy people are to have their pictures taken.
