caption_attribution_description: English: Cartoonist Chad Carpenter is shown maintaining the booth for his Tundra franchise at the 2012 Tanana Valley State Fair. I was walking through the fair taking photos when I see Carpenter reading something on his phone. In an instant, I readied my camera, called out his name, he looks up, sees the camera and puts on a perfect expression feigning shock and surprise.
