Congress of Lincolns, Mermaids and Unicorns: Strange Hobbies of Americans in Photos

Some people's hobbies may seem bizarre: some dress up as unicorns, others collect damn scary postcards from the past. If you are still able to surprise other people's hobbies, then you just have not seen the selection of images from various thematic communities in the United States, which was made by Arthur Drucker.

For several years, the photographer attended a wide variety of conventions throughout the country. He documented the strange, sometimes ridiculous or very original, addictions of Americans. Congresses of TV series fans, ventriloquists, taxidermists, "former US presidents" - this list goes on and on. Thousands of Americans are infinitely loyal to their communities in which they can free themselves and feel free to show their bizarre fantasies in the company of their own kind. Here's how it goes.
