Anyone seen a Carnival in DFW?

[.::[JOHN CHRISTOPHER]::.]

Has anyone seen a carnival around town? Preferably in North Dallas but at this point I'll take anything. I missed the one near 635 and Preston. Anyone?

I found one in Frisco last week for an engagement session. Here's one from the session. Thanks all! Let me know what you think.

There's one in the parking lot of the Ridgelea mall in Ft Worth off I30 and GreenOaks. (West of downtown, close to the NAS base.)

At least it was still there Sunday afternoon. the 23rd.

Good luck!

I saw one today near the Old Redbird Mall (I think its called Southeast Mall now) in South Dallas... 67 and Camp Wisdom

The one at Ridgmar Mall in FW is not there now. It was probably just there last week when most of the FW schools were on Spring Break. Too bad because I would have liked to have taken some pix. I'm sure someone will have ride around for Cinco de Mayo (which coincidentally is my birthday).

hey that is right around the corner from me. i am off of camp wisdom and cockrill hill so if anyone is interested in doing a "tag along" shoot or getting together to go shoot the carnival tonight or sometime this week while it is still up, let me know.

then again how do you go about doing something like that?
just take the camera/flash/tripod and other equipment in the carnival and start shooting?
people dont mind?

[brad]

They haven't minded when I've done it in the past... just let them know what you are doing and why (for yourself) and they are usually cooperative... especially if biz is slow.

oh okay thanks Brad

I don't know where they are now but you could call Talley Amusements and ask for their schedule. I couldn't find it on line.

There is one here in south Fort Worth off of 820 South and Forest Hill.

Don't know of any carnivals, but there is a circus in Allen this weekend. Near McDermott & 75.

I'm in FW, but not that familiar with the South FW area. Can you give more details about the one off 820 and Forest Hill, please?

Thanks,

Check the Web site for Kelly Moore and see where they will be. I think it's the nearest to us and travels around here a lot.

I have photographed at public Carnivals and State Fairs for years. I walk around with bags of equipment, tripods and the like. I have never been confronted or even asked what I was doing. I make it very obvious to anyone looking what I am doing and people don't mind. Relax and enjoy it.

Carry a neutral density filter and shoot, shoot, shoot.

I-20 and Forest Hill exit, just east of I35W. From where do you need directions? I saw this yesterday driving to Mansfield. Looks pretty large as far as carnivals go.
