I've long been fascinated by World's Fairs. I've been lucky enough to have attended several myself and have been collecting photos from them for years. I've even written books on some of them, as listed on my site www.worldsfairphotos.com.

Maps, maps, maps - Part 8
Sometimes there's not much demand for a map. That's the case in this scene from Brisbane's Expo 88. It's about 8:10 in the morning and things were just getting in gear despite the rainy weather. Other shots from that day showed quite a few people turned out for the day, so I imagine the maps were appreciated then.
Days like this are my favorite way to see a fair. The lack of crowds makes it easier to get into the pavilions, but it really helps in getting shots of the buildings without them being blocked by crowds. I'll take a light rain over a lengthy line in the sun any time!
