March of 1,000 Flaming Skeletons

During the fall I spend most Saturdays at a football stadium. Last Saturday, however, I spent the evening covering the March of 1,000 Flaming Skeletons at the Ghouls Gone Wild Halloween Parade in downtown Oklahoma City.  I interviewed Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips and put together an audio slideshow with some pictures from the parade.

Here are a few photos from the slideshow.

Carnival workers at the Oklahoma State Fair

Every year that I cover the Oklahoma State Fair, the carnival workers want me to take their photograph.  This year I decided to do just that.  I interviewed some of the workers and put together an audio slideshow with the pictures from the fair.

Here are a few photos from the slideshow.
