No Fair

Before a recent trip to Myrtle Beach, I had plenty of things in mind that I wanted to photograph. Throughout the trip, I took lots of pictures at some of the Grand Strand's most famous hotspots. However, it was what wasn't there that I most wanted to capture.

Growing up, a trip to the beach just wasn't complete without a trip to the Myrtle Beach Pavilion. Though I'm well into adulthood, you can imagine my disappointment and that of so many others when it was taken down several years ago due to budget reasons. To this day, there is only a vast, empty lawn in its place.

As a kid, I loved visiting the Pavilion; this time, I visited its ghost. Of all the pictures I took during this trip to Myrtle Beach, this is the one that most resonates with me on a personal level: "The Fair That Wasn't There."
