Summary:

"The idea for the Wandering the Midway book has its roots for me in the traveling carnivals that would stop each summer in the midwestern town where I grew up [Janesville, Wisconsin]. Such a contrast to our lazy summer it was, with its collection of entertainment - the sideshow, the penny arcade and the games. The memory of these colorful visitors are now images in my book." --Artist's website.
