Description

See and hear San Francisco photographer Mikkel Aaland talk to David Letterman in 1982 about taking portraits of folks visiting county fairs. These portraits were made in a portable studio that was hauled from fair to fair in California and Arizona between 1976 and 1980. The studio was complete with darkroom and a shooting stage and it took a crew of three to run it: a shooter (Mikkel), a front person to handle customers and a darkroom person to develop and print the 4x5 inch negative. The entire process, when going smoothly, took about fifteen minutes.
