The 2007 Andover Art Fair

Every thousand years or so, a fair comes along -- a fair like no other -- that defies the imagination with awesome spectacles of awesomeness. Seriously, though, this is my father's first foray into the exciting world of selling photography in the public art fair circuit. I've documented this, rather than actually helping by moving heavy objects around or trying to sell things on his behalf. If you'd like to see his wares (out of guilt do I post this), then check out his website at http://www.adrienbisson.com/ now!
