When I heard that their were going to be pig races at the Boone County Fair, I was instantly 78% more excited for the Boone County Fair. Some people were psyched for the alcohol. I was psyched for the pig races. It is the reason that I sometimes don’t fit in and do fit in with the fine people of Boone, Iowa.

I knew that pig races would be a perfect addition to THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT. I just wasn’t sure which page. Then it dawned on me. Page 77.

Page 77 – Instill a powerful sense of narrative in your picture.

I did enjoy the pig races even more than I anticipated. I was sad that there were only 4 races with a swimming pig thrown in the middle. It did make me day dream about quitting the computer mine. Buying the finest stable of racing pigs this side of the Mississippi, and going out and entertaining the young and young at heart at fairs and small town festivals all over the continental United States and maybe parts of Canada.

I just need an financial backer. About a million dollars would probably get us up and running*.

While only 1 picture can be physically adhered into the physical A PHOTO JOURNAL, I did take several pig pictures that are worthy of sharing. Have a look:

I’m not sure where we’ll land next time we check in with THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT. Possibly Page 40. But it could be Page 55. Page 56 is also a real contender too!
