The Oyster Fest of Oyster Bay takes place once a a year on Long Island. Its a festival where families go to spend a day. Kids can have fun on the rides, while parents can enjoy the art stands and food and beer. I went to the festival in late afternoon, so it was packed. I tried to get photos of everything that makes up a neighborhood and the festival from kids to families to students.

Places such as food stands are what make up a community, some have been there for years and its something that someone can go to for years.  Things like fun rides and pony rides are what make up a childhood. Also a community is about safety, a police officer and a bus are ideal in a community with kids and families. The event attracted people from all ages and thats how the community came together.

This collection of photos is about a ‘community’ of soccer players. I photographed my sisters soccer team. Even though there is one main team, the community involved other people than the soccer players. As part of the team there were refs who made sure the game was fair and coaches to assist the players and help score goals. There were spectators who watched, which were mostly parents. Also, players from other teams sat on the side lines and watched the game or practice kicked near the game.
