The exhibit, "Corn Dogs, Blue Ribbons and the American Pastoral," is a collection of evocative images. Their antique quality and timeless subjects present a wistful look back while revealing clues that remind us of their contemporary origins.Meg Birnbaum is an award-winning fine art photographer and graphic designer based in Massachusetts.
