Jimmy Cole said...: This photo was taken with a "normal" 50 mm camera lense. It shows the tent interior and the ring in their correct proportion.

The following photo, (taken from about the same spot) of the "Cross Mount" was taken with a wide angle 28mm lense. Note how the tent interior and the ring seem to appear larger.

I'm sure that my good friend and fellow circus photographer Paul Gutheil can back me up on that.

The lack of colored fog is noteable as well!; 26 September, 2010 07:34

lying to us about the headpieces

Were these possibly old "Mills"

the "C" & the "M" how clever; 26 September, 2010 09:53

Did you use two cameras or just switch lenses?
Lastly, have you ever gotten a photo of Buckles smiling? LOL

as a toddler in a stroller with

a very slight grin
