Allentown Fair, Pennsylvania 1979

"Allentown Fair, Pennsylvania" (1979) by Larry Fink is a black and white photograph that captures the energy and bustle of a fairground at night. The composition is dominated by a small train carrying passengers along a track, with a white fence separating the riders from the spectators. The image is a snapshot of a moment in time, frozen in the stark contrast of black and white, and exemplifies Fink's interest in capturing the nuances of everyday life. The photograph offers a glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere of a local fair, with its mixture of light and shadow, and its fleeting moments of joy and amusement.
