We wrangled Jeff Sarris of [SPYR](https://spyr.me) fame into shooting some photos for us. The results? Noir. Carnival. Car-noir-ival? You be the judge. But first, Jeff in his own words:

**Where do you live and why?**\
 Chicago because that’s where my mattress is located.

**How does photography fit into your life?**\
 Photography’s always been a hobby, but it wasn’t until we were asked to shoot a wedding that we bought DSLRs and started shooting people in the face for money.

**Why a carnival?**\
 For one weekend a year select locations are inhabited by large metal alien beings that consume humans whole, spin them around and excrete them onto the pavement. What’s not to love?

**Do you spend a lot of time at carnivals?**\
 Nope… unless I have an idea for a photo series.

**What do you do when you’re not trying to make money?**\
 Porn.

**Thirsty or hungry?**\
 Hungry. Always hungry.

**Really really early or really really late?**\
 I run on [vampire hours](http://paleoporn.net/sleep/).

**Best meal you’ve ever had?**\
 I’m lucky, my wife Marla creates spectacular paleo recipes on a daily basis so the best meal I’ve ever had is probably the one I’m eating right now.
