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.

Magnolias and Apple Blossoms

Posted on May 25, 2011

I had some time between clients today so I took out my new camera – a Nikon D300s – and took some pictures of the beautiful apple blossoms and magnolia blooms.  I am so in love with this camera I don’t know how I’m ever going to want to use my D90, even as a back up!  But I will and it will be fine, but wow,  this new one is amazing!!  Check it out and see for yourself!

The first three images were taken before the sun was fully out.  The rest of the pictures were taken late morning.
