Wayne County Ohio. It's more than corn and cows.

The sign said “No Outlet” I however was looking for a picture, “something different” I was thinking. At the end of the Rittman street was an abandoned railroad spur and on it was well… something different.


My first impression was this is a person dressed as Willy Wonka from the film "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".

This person was wearing a top hat, high platform shoes with a black suit. As this person was standing on the tracks another was taking pictures. I approached and explained my project and “Kai” agreed to pose for a photo.

When I ask about the outfit she said “I do this all the time, I like to dress up for pictures”

Not wanting to take away from their time I took a few quick images and we chatted about our camera choices and I moved on. While some may find her looks shocking Kai was very pleasant and accommodating.
She also told me that “she” was actually a “boy“.

Well proof once again that if you look for something a little different you can find it right here in Wayne County!
