I took a bunch of snaps the night my wife and I went to the Oregon State Fair. I don't go on the rides and the fair food is deemed unsafe by cardiologists. We go every couple years. It's a great place to people-watch, see a lot of animals and experiment with light.

So much of photography is simply a matter of timing and luck. This is the second of two exposures I got of this couple about to be spun. The first is dark. She's not looking at the camera. When she saw me, she beamed. Amazingly, I got it.
