Casey Martin “Small”
Casey is a member of “Barely Balanced“.  They are a stunt/acrobatics team that travels the country performing.  She is pure hotness, so this picture is worth more than a thousand words.  And to top it off, she is as friendly as can be.  Needless to say, Casey is one of the first people I go looking for at the Ren Fest.   Each year my wife tricks me into going (I have bad allergies) by saying “You get to see the hot girl on stilts”.

Pirate “Bob”
I actually had no clue who the guy was.  After finding him on Facebook though (someone else tagged my photo for me) I realized “Bob” here is quite a famous pirate.  I was standing inside the Pirate Ship (more on that later) and my wife stated that there was a pirate sleeping under a tree.  So we told my 3 year old son to go see if he was real.  This picture resulted.  “Bob” was a very good sport and made for one of the best pictures I took at the festival.

Captain Matthew Post
Matthew hosts one of the most popular “shops” in the entire festival.  The Pirate Ship is a giant armory type store with great deals on swords, shields, and every type of weapon or accessory you could imagine.  And then every day at 4:30pm they auction off tons of items at incredible prices, and of course give away tons of free gifts.  It is a must see at any Ren Fest.  Matthew and his crew are among the best people you will ever meet at any Ren Fest.  His “wenches” are all lovely and sweet.   This shot I took of Matthew just gave him that “Captain” look.

The Pirate
There’s not much to say about this shot.  This is one of the pirates that runs the children’s swing.  The look he had just seemed perfect for an HDR shot like this.

Hope you all enjoyed the photos as much as I did.  The festival was a blast and I can’t wait to go back.
