Went to the Demicon, the Des Moines Sci-fi, Fantasy, and Gaming convention today. My brother and I had to take a couple pics in front of a familiar phone box: Me: My brother:
^That's very cool, OdoWanKenobi. I went to a medieval festival on Thursday. It takes place every year and is always great fun. Taking pictures was hard, though, because it was very crowded and people were always getting in the way. However, I thought I'd share some of the better pictures with you. This guy is frying chickens over open flames. Next to the people who work at the festival (sales people, stuntmen, artists), there are also a bunch of people who actually live there. Just like in the middle ages. My friend's brother used to do that. Here you could buy homemade soap and all sorts of ingredients. A juggler, juggling with a raw egg, a small frying pan and a burning torch. "Death" is lurking ... One of the knights is getting in trouble. No medieval festival without a proper tournament.
I put on my Pertwee for the 2014 Starfest costume contest. I won a Doctor Who only contest earlier in the day but stood no chance against the close to 9ft tall Godzilla, or nearly as tall Iron Giant that were in the main contest pictured here. And in front of the TARDIS
Great pictures. The forest in the background looks splendid, thick and lot of textures. Where is this?
I have had a baby. He decided to arrive last Monday, so he's a week old today. I swear he opens his eyes sometimes, but those pics are hard to get. Oh, and we named him Ryker.
OH HE'S SO CUTE!!! And he looks huge?! CONGRATULATIONS MARI!! Enjoy every moment of your lovely little man I'm super happy for you!
Mari, he is absolutely beautiful! Congratulations on the birth of your son. Awesome name, by the way.
Congratulations mari!!! He's so tiny! I forget that they start off so small. Thanks for sharing with us!
Pics of decorations from a murder mystery I hosted last weekend. Didn't have time to do much besides shoot on auto, but I was more interested in having fun! Got some great shots of guests, including mugshots against a backdrop on my door, but don't want to post those for privacy reasons.
