Pirate Rendezvous 2011

Posted on June 12, 2011

A photographers dream is having a whole town turn out in costume, spilling through the streets in splashes of color, donning pirate attire and behaving, well, like pirates!  If anyone was trying to get through Damariscotta, Maine yesterday,  they could have been taken captive by pillaging pirates who take over the town at the annual Pirate Rendezvous.

I almost didn’t make it this year because I had to work, but luckily I got out early and made it for half of the events.  This is why there won’t be the variety of photos I usually get, but I think you’ll get the idea of how much fun it was!

First lets start with a few pirate details.  I decided to edit most of these in color because everything was simply that – colorful!

And then there were the children.  Oh my, the children!  I just love how they become so completely enraptured by the experience.  I know they believe in their heart of hearts that they, too, are pirates.

There were some beautiful ladies roaming as well, all dressed in fabulous costumes.  I just love street photography!

What would Pirate Rendezvous be without pirates, right!  And here they are.  I know, I know, I didn’t get photos of all of you, but I tried!

 

A little music and dancing as well.

If you are  interested in purchasing prints of any of these images, please contact me.

Pirate Rendezvous 2010 Damariscotta, Maine

Posted on June 18, 2010

I have finally finished editing the many, many pictures from the Pirate Rendezvous, which took place this past weekend, June 12, 2010 in Damariscotta, Maine.  It was packed with pirates, children dressed as pirates and even adults dressed as pirates.  What fun!!

I have created two galleries of pictures.  One with primarily the children, both young and older.  And one of the pirates and crowds.  One thing I must apologize for is the images in the galleries are not 100% in order.  I used two SD cards and my pictures are filed in numerical order, so they are a bit jumbled up!  There was no way I wanted to sort them out – too many!  I hope you enjoy just the same!  Click on the following links to get to the galleries.
