Melvine Burkhart, the original human blockhead at coney island sideshow by the seashore
I ran away from college in the 1970s to join the carnival and sideshow. Since then, I have performed at many different shows from Coney Island to the South Pacific as a sword swallower and all-around carny. While working I developed a desire to photograph my fellow performers both at work and at play this desire soon grew to include the people and places we visited. I have now devoted myself to the creation of digital art and the photography that is based on my life’s experience as a performer.
