Cliffhanger

ABOUT This is a story about carnies, living and working on the road. It's about a culture of people in America who get less respect than they deserve because of the entertainment industry and other media, who continue to either promote the same shallow stereotypes or sensationalize them, with their own imaginations. They're already sensational. This brief web journal is about them and for them. Text and photos ©SUSAN ADCOCK unless otherwise noted. Thanks for looking.
