At the Carnival by Leanne Lindsay
The air thrummed with a joyous cacophony – the mechanical whir of carnival rides, the excited shrieks of children, and the melodic calls of hawkers selling sugary treats. The local carnival was in full swing, and I was there with the light of my life, my grandson. His eyes, wide with a mixture of excitement and a touch of apprehension, darted from the towering Ferris wheel to the spinning teacups. But it was the swings that captured his imagination. We secured our spots, and as the swing spun faster and faster, his initial nervousness melted away. By the time he reached full speed, a full-blown grin stretched across his face. It was pure, unadulterated joy – the kind that only comes from the carefree days of childhood. That’s when I snapped the picture. The setting sun cast a warm glow on the scene, highlighting the vibrant colors of the carnival rides. But the true focus was on my grandson, his laughter echoing in the air.

Born in Adelaide in 1962, Leanne Lindsay’s family moved to Sydney when she was 12 years old. She was gifted her first camera for her 21st birthday but a break-in saw her precious camera stolen just 3 years later. It was only in her late 50s she was able to afford to replace it and now in her 60s she has discovered a passion that was sadly lost many years ago. She now photographs families and newborns but enjoys architectural photography and landscapes in particular.
