Every now and again I have the pleasure of being asked to photograph local events in the Spartanburg, SC area.  This past Friday, September 14, 2018, I was hired by GoUpstate.com (The Spartanburg Herald Journal) to photograph “Spartoberfest.”  This year, Spartoberfest took place outdoors at Jesus Our Risen Savior Catholic Church.  When I attend events such as these, I typically end up hanging around longer than I need to, because there is just so much to see!  There is always an abundance of smiling faces and interesting people at these festivals.  Here is a collection of images that I shot in excess beyond what was needed for the newspaper.  I hope you’ll enjoy them! 🙂
