In like a lion . . . sort of

Photographing amusement parks that are "closed for the season" is great fun, especially in the spring as staffs furiously work assembling, painting, and testing everything to get ready for opening day. We found this friendly lion at Quassy Amusement Park in Middlebury, CT, in the off season. He was a gentle soul and much more like the image I would prefer to represent the beginning of March.

Our first on location workshop this year will start "off season" at Lake Compounce in Bristol, CT, March 27, two months before it opens. It should be great fun as we photograph all the brightly painted rides and attractions before the season begins. The second half of the day will be spent photographing inside the New England Carousel Museum. For more information, call or send us an email.
