Ren Fest Characters

Here are a couple more photos I took at the Texas Renaissance Festival in Magnolia, Texas last Saturday. I like the quality of light in both photos.

Barry-

This has been a great series of images. I really like shooting at 'reenactments' and events like this.

You did a great job in capturing the feel of the fair.

I also really enjoyed your work from Austin. It was really fun to spend some time with you.

I am looking forward to the next time we get to do this!

Thanks Brian! These type of events are fun to do because all you have to do is point a camera at someone and they strike a pose!

Likewise I enjoyed seeing you in Austin a couple of weeks ago!

Cheers!
