about this book this book is my solo photo book month (sofobomo) project for 2011. i must confess that this one year i needed to divert my attention and priorities elsewhere, and this book is little more than a simple presentation of photos from an excursion that i do every year – the oregon country fair in veneta, oregon. ocf is my favorite photographic event of the year, and it will be a long time before it again falls within the sofobomo window, so i guess i can’t feel too bad. i like my ocf photos, and sofobomo could have done worse by me. enjoy! amy sakurai beaverton, oregon lovelyangel@macconnect.com

music and dance music is everywhere at ocf ...on stages ...along pathways ...in gathering places and where there is song, there is dance
