Renaissance Festival Photos
2003 MIRF

last update 3/11/04

The festival season at Hollygrove is near a close. It has been a wonderful run this year. I hope I've been able to capture the spirit of the festival. Many new friends were made and many friendships renewed. There have been some wonderful new acts at this years festival, hopefully they were welcomed enough to return again next year.

My apologies for not being able to get the images up faster. I've taken the most I've ever taken within a short time and I've attempted to put more care into the processing of each image. Both PCs worked to their full capacity and there's been a few times where they ran all night processing the images. Unfortunately I am still behind on processing so instead of waiting to get everything "just right" I have decided to do a Hail Mary and put up week 3 without formal captions and weeks 5 & 6 without captions and without any post processing. What this means for those two weeks is that the images you see will contain many duplicates, no categories, lighting a bit off, and all within one big gallery.

If I get this gig again next year, which I hope I do, I will be able to streamline the image processing to make the posting much faster.

Here are the pictures as they stand today. I look forward to seeing you all again this final weekend. Let's have a wonderful time! :-D

3/11/04 The final images are now posted! In addition, week 5 & 6 have been sorted, trimmed, processed, and categorized! Sorry for the delay but considering I've had to rename 16,000+ images, reburn several hundred CDs, burn a couple hundred DVDs, then the system taking a dive cause I asked too much of it .... well, you get the point. ;-)

A couple announcements:

• I am still looking for models! Please help an up and coming photographer!
• Within a couple weeks this site will be changing location. I have run out of space and will be moving it to a new address onto a new system. Don't worry, I'll set it up so that you get to the right place when the time comes.
• I'll be setting up a PayPal donation. If you feel that the images provided here are worth a few coins, please drop some in the hat to help me expand the site further. :)
