Maryland Renaissance hosts Albannach

I'm sick today, but I did have an absolute blast playing at the Maryland Renaissance Festival on Saturday. I got to wander around being invisible (also known as "wearing normal clothes") with a camera around my neck. I didn't take many random pictures; my main mission was to photograph Albannach.

Kit and I first encountered Albannach last year at Faire; we could hear the thumping of the drums from the main gate. Their energy was astounding and we were immediately hooked. We watched the Faire schedule carefully this year and were ecstatic to see that they would be at Faire twice. Not only did we get to watch the show on Saturday, but the stage they played was just down the lane from the booth we work; we got to hear them and watch The Rogues while we were working, and we danced around the booth while selling horns. It's these times that I love where I work.

Being that I'm sick and am relegated to a laptop to edit, I've only got a couple today. Hopefully I'll have more this week, but for now, I present Kyle and Jamesie, two of the six members of Albannach.

Renn Faire!

Hello again! Just popping on around the insanity to let you know that I might have some new images for you wonderfully patient people on Monday or Tuesday - I have a planned play day tomorrow at the Maryland Renaissance Festival, which means I get to wander around with a camera instead of hawking at a booth all day. Good potential for fantastic shots, huzzah!

If you'll be anywhere near the Faire on Sunday, however, my Kit and I will be working at Ages Gone Clothing/Wassail Horns. Come see us - and the infamous Texas Teacup - and learn exactly what crazy thing I do during Faire that makes it enough fun to come back every year despite all of my complaints. The cannon goes off at 10AM sharp - we'll be there all day!
