Another work-related photograph–the only time I picked up the camera on Sunday. Grrr. These fabrics and trim make up a lovely new outfit at Pendragon Costumes.

Sunday at Scarborough Renaissance Festival.
I took a lot of photos today; a whole lot of photos. I settled on this one, because I love the reflection of the chess game in Christophe’s glasses. This is Christophe the Insulter; he is far and away one of the most intelligent, witty & genuine individuals I have ever met and I am proud to call him friend. He also routinely, and easily, beats me at chess.
In this photo, he’s playing against a young man named Tom, who is, by Chrisophe’s own admission and many other accounts, quite the player. He gave Chris quite the pounding in this game although Chris did his best to hold his own. I must admit that there’s a perverse pleasure I gain from seeing those who beat me so adroitly be handed their hat and shown the door. But, mostly, I just enjoy watching folks play chess at East Wind Games each day; it brings me joy (and the occasional sale).
Cheers

East Wind Games as seen from Pendragon Costumes at dusk on a Saturday night. All locked up tight, the product and woes of the day carefully tucked away. It’s time to go get some food, some good company and some cheer.
This particular Saturday was to be celebrated as other Saturday’s at Faire had not been. I’d just had the absolute best day, financially, that my small company had ever had and I was about to open a good bottle of wine with a good friend and my wife. A perfect celebration and a good end to a good day.
Cheers.

Ahaaa. It’s Monday, and I’m already doing Friday night’s photo. How’s that, eh?
These plants drip off the side of The Antler’d Stag at Scarborough Renaissance Festival. Taken on Friday evening after we’ve unloaded the product and stuffs, it states simply the reality of the day. Give it room, a little nourishment and the occasional light and it will flourish.
Cheers.

As Kyle said, this photo isn’t very interesting, but it certainly is indicative of my day on Saturday.
No time for aesthetic photos—just business! The customer lost a button and needed a replacement. I knew I had at least a couple of these, but that I wouldn’t necessarily remember the exact button details without some physical reminder. Here it is.

Friday night . . . late. We’ve driven to faire and unloaded and checked in product. It’s bedtime, but knowing I’m about to lay down on a very hard futon, I also know I must be completely and totally exhausted first, if I have any hope of a decent night’s rest. So, I decide to play a game on the computer, and then realize I still needed my Friday picture. I was intrigued by the lovely shade of green that appeared to be glowing from the water bottle on our cooler, so I began to play with that in the camera. The glow was actually being caused by the string of holiday lights we have hung as a “nightlight” and soon they became the focus of my picture-taking. I have a whole series of photos of those little lights making pretty patterns as I bounced and swirled the camera while holding down the shutter button. This is the one Kyle said he liked best.

It’s a soapbox.
This is construction equipment and a companion piece to this photo by Marita Beth. It’s not that I’m against construction or advancement or technology; quite the contrary in fact. I am, however, against the methods being employed by the companies that work these areas and the governments allowing them. In the North Texas areas, there are over 200 of these Natural Gas wells scattered about. They all come attended by various construction machines such as the one I have photographed here. Each of these wells gets “fracked” approximately 17 times in it’s lifetime. Each “frack” consumes 14 million (million!) gallons of water as the natural gas is flushed from the ground. What remains of the 14 million gallons of water is supposed to be “disposed of properly.” However, evidence uncovered by the Ft. Worth Weekly indicates that it is instead dumped, contaminated now with heavy metals and other harmful elements, back out into the ground allowing it to seep back into the water table. If you do the math, you will quickly and easily see that we are likely doing irreprable harm to the North Texas environment so that a few politicians and their cronies can get rich. I could continue, but that would just get me worked up and I’d prefer to have a nice, non-politically motivated day.
Cheers.
