Photo shoot!!!!!

[Skip]

Would like to know if any of you all are interested in doing a photo shoot after the faire is over?  I live in Loveland and have talked to Laney about doing one in Fort Collins.  Would love to have anybody else who lives up this way join in the public spectacle!!!  Would probably look to do this sometime in September when it has cooled off a little bit.

For those of you, and I am sure this is a majority of the Rennie's out there, from the Denver area I would also really like to shoot around the capitol building area.

If anybody is interested please let me know so we can plan this out to make some professional portraits with you in your garb.  Also if you have any ideas feel free to share them and we can all hash out what will work the best.

I really think this would be a fun time!!!

I'm down!!  I live in Greeley so Loveland/Ft Collins is not too far of a drive for me.  Sounds like fun!

[Mistress Charlotte]

Wouldn"t this just be the bomb... I would paint for an opportunity to work with a professional photographer.  I will be in Pittsburgh for the faire there.  I'm so dissappointed that I will miss it.  Maybe a winter project???    

Zoe is a great subject to photo!  I get great photos from her all the time.  She rocks the camera!

Last year's 'Big Shot' was taken after cannon on the last day.  Those of you who'd like to do this year's shot, just make sure we all know you want to take THE BIG PICTURE, and have the equipment ready to go for the shot.  I very much liked last year's shot, and hope that this year's will be at least as good.

I do so love you all--

sounds like a great get together. I know a few wenches that might want to get in on that.

I will be down there on Saturday (this was changed) and would love to advertise your painting skills on my round billboard.

I don't know when you are here but the September thing is just an idea and not set in stone so please make suggestions that hopefully will work for as many people as possible.

Also if one shoot doesn't work for everybody then we can always do a second one and I like the idea of a winter snow shoot.

Now your talking!!!!

[Capt Gabriela Fullpepper]

Well you know Toki and I are up for it as we talked of it. I am trying hard to get Lady Francesca involved as well and her family.

We will miss you on Sunday as Toki and I decided Sunday is a NO for us.

Talk soon.

A winter shoot could be fun, great excuse to use the wintry garb!!

[Mischief Snicklebritches]

heck yes! that would be awesome! I would love to have photos of not just myself but perhaps copies of my friends as well!? What an awesome idea Skip! Just name the time and place.

[Francisco Paula]

I would love to do this. Not only as my pirate self but as the photographer in me. I could even talk to ill repute and see if we can get a few of them.

On a side note i am trying to get a photo shoot with the fairies at the botanic garden in august but haven't heard back yet from the one i have a connection with. If it dosn't pan out with the fairies i still would love to do this if people are interested.

I can say it WILL be in Ft Collins

a few things to think about in september is the Highland festival in estes park one weekend then another is the faire in sante fe and the buccaneer bash. Not sure how many are doing any of these activities but then again also some good opportunities for some photo shooting.

Done on the first part (that is assuming you think my work is up to par) and so true on the second part - gotta love her new avatar!!!

Looks like I lied again about which day I would be at faire to take pics.  Since my wife is coming with me she wants to go on Saturday so we have a day to recuperate.  Of course being the man of the house I put down my foot and am doing exactly what I was told  .

A little more on the photo shoot - If enough people get involved in this we will set aside a whole day (probably a Saturday) so we have plenty of time.  I know many of you have more than one outfit so hopefully we can find someplace where you can change and we can get pictures of you in each one. 

I would love to have (at least for the Denver shoot) plenty of people so that we could have garbed "extra's" in the background for a possibly more authentic look. 

I was just down there the other day and the area between the capital building and the city and county building looks to be good spot for a shoot.  There is an area that has two curved columned areas with an arch in the middle of each.  If your going down colfax it curves around this spot.

The difficult part here is that there is really nothing in our area that "fits" the period.  We can work around this and I think still take some amazing shots and have a blast doing it but this will need to be taken into consideration.  I will check if it would be possible to do this inside of someplace like the capital building or the city and county but I wouldn't think so.  Plus we will need enough room to set-up lights and everything else.  I don't mind blocking an area off for a while we just need to be prepared to have to move if someone complains.

There are some very ornate old churches that may work also so again anybody from down that way that knows the area better please chime in and let me know if anything will work better.

Must have taken a while to write this since two more comments came through!

You bet the more the merrier, I supply the camera's and equipment, you all supply the fantastic subject matter!!!

come along and enjoy, see if the fairies can join us.  That Botanic Garden idea is fantastic for them, what a great idea.

Duly noted, again the time and place are up in the air right now so the more input we get the better.

Counted!  We might get a good turnout for the North shoot yet  .
