Description of Pictures: The Free Lancers
Jousters. In the Middle Ages a "lance" was a group of soldiers consisting of a knight, his squire, a valet and twelve men at arms. If a knight’s lord was to die or if the knight had not sworn fealty to a lord, then he and his followers were called a "free lance" and entitled to be hired as mercenaries by the highest bidder.

Wikipedia Description: Maryland Renaissance Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Maryland Renaissance Festival is a recreation of a fictional 16th century English village named Revel Grove. Located in Crownsville (near Annapolis), the festival is spread over 25 acres and is the second largest renaissance festival in the United States. The Renaissance Festival usually runs from the third week of August to the third week of October every year and as such is a celebration of the autumn harvest.

2004 photos: Equipment this year: I bought two Fujifilm S7000 digital cameras. While they produced excellent images, I found all of the retractable-lens Fuji models had a disturbing tendency to get dust inside the lens. Dark blurs would show up on the images and the camera had to be sent back to the shop in order to get it fixed. I returned one of the cameras when the blurs showed up in the first month. I found myself buying extended warranties on cameras. Trips this year: (1) Margot and I went off to Scotland for a few days, my first time overseas. (2) I went to Hawaii on business (such a deal!) and extended it, spending a week in Hawaii and another in California. (3) I went to Tennessee to man a booth and extended it to go to my third Fan Fair country music festival. Number of photos taken this year: 110,000.
