It is Mayfest time again in Tulsa. The downtown festival featuring food, music, crafts, and people watching happens every year and kind of ebbs and flows with the economy.
This year found me kind of busy so I wasn’t able to spend as much time as usual but i still made the rounds with my trusty ipod touch and its Waterlogue and Snapseed Apps.
The food stands are my favorite, for taking pictures. Goodness knows I’m not going to eat at one of them. Basically you have to buy coupons to pay for the food and drink. I just want to pay to pay for my food and drink in cash. Not do the deal where I have to see how many coupons I want and then go stand in the coupon line and then go get the food. Lets do something different next year folks. I always thought cash was king.
Plus, I didn’t see the Indian Tacos nor the Gyros. Sorry, if I am going to eat festival food it has to be something different. Also, many of the craft vendors had “No photography” signs up. What is up with that. I don’t think they can make it stick but I don’t really like to mess with people when it comes to a conflict between my hobby of blogging and their livelihood.
So anyway, check out Tulsa International Mayfest
These are great! I love those apps. I keep hearing about these Indian Tacos and how good they are. I have seen them in pictures and they look incredible.
Looks like a fun day to me!!! Reminds me of the State Fairs we had in Dallas years ago!! Hope you have great weekend!!
Many craft fairs/shows now prohibit photography/picture taking. The vendors apparently are concerned that someone might steal their craft idea. However, I have seen far too many products that have a sticker on the back, “Made in China”. Like you, I’m not the confrontational type, but I have been tempted to express my opinion about this practice. I know the event organizers don’t care. They just want the booth rental fee.
I like how you used waterlogue and snapfish – I also enjoy those apps. I agree with the coupon method being foolish – Breckenridge also does that during some of the street fairs. Too much trouble!
I like the pictures, adds a impressionist quality to them.
Would have been Gyros for me. Crafters ideas are being stolen and made cheap overseas. I like the water color effect.
Love the aps! Hmmm. Doesn’t make sense that that the vendors would make it complicated for buying the food.
such a colorful festival and love the apps! Your photos look pretty much artistic…
