From New England up in the North East of the United States comes Miss New England, a lovely little beauty pageant of tiny yet epic proportions. You can’t go there unless you’ve got a plane ticket. Have you got your ticket? No? Well alright we’ve got something even better: a photodocumentary of one of these miraculous events! A fantastic photographer indeed, Meghan Petersen, has set her camera up to collect the reality of the situation.

I’ve got the mixed feelings about the beauty pageants, I’m not sure about them, but I’ll tell you what. I’ll tell you what! They yield some lovely images. Weird, strange images you wont be finding anywhere else. That’s for sure I’ll tell you that.

The best photos are of the little girls crying.

Not that little people crying is a great thing, it’s a sort of regular thing, a part of life it is. But in this case, it’s pretty much just a sight to behold.

This project is just called “Beauty Pageant” and like I said, it’s done by Meghan Peterson.
