I put up some of my photos on my deviantart site today (the rest I'll have to clean up first, these were the good ones). Here's what I have so far:

But, she's so precious she SHOULD be in all the photos! :D Great pics!
You know, I just realized who you were on here. I didn't recognize you from the profile pic. Duh. It was nice meeting you and putting a name with a face. :)
Our few pics are in the Photo section of the forum:

Mieljolie- I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to meet you this weekend, I'm a fan of your tab art and have your website saved in my favorites.
Gwen- I would have liked to meet you as well, your little one is too cute, great pics!
Hi folks.

I have a handful of photos that I'm preparing but I just wanted to thank those of you who share such beautiful work with everyone. The wife and I are getting a lot of our friends interested in Sherwood and its photos like these that get people excited about coming out. We pull up your pages at work and people ask questions. I send links to this board and people love what they see. We've actually got groups of friends coming out two weekends to camp now, pretty much attributed to the stunning photos from media day and opening weekend.
Your pics are doing a lot to promote this faire!!!
P.S. That is a cute kid.
Here are more Sherwood Photos pluse links to all of the media and Video I have and that others have furnished.

GREAT pictures Melkar! You have captured the feeling of the faire very well! Huzzah!
Why is it that I feel like a carnie all of a sudden???

FYI, the boy held strong for a while but definitely needs practice before trying to out drink the old man
*Although the rum was making my volume a bit louder than normal apparently*
Does anyone have pictures of the Merling/Wizard show? A friend of mine has signed up to play music while he does his show, but I cannot find any pictures to see if my friend is in them.
Hope this works, it says it is a public link.

OOOH! Great pictures DT!
All these pictures are amazing! Melkar you really know how to bring out the best in us Rennies. Makes me really miss being around the shire folk. You bring it all to mind so amazingly. Thank you!
OK, not a picture but...
I know I am probably the only one as into taking vids as I am lol
But here is my first video of the season, the parade on opening weekend!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OPb5kGkNB8
Enjoy!
*Definitely going to have to redo it though. The rum had my camera wobbling at the start*
Nice video Teach!
You know, it just came to me what that faire is missing! Bagpipes!

Just wait until March 20th, when the Queen's Own Highlanders will be marching in the 1 PM parade, bagpipes wailing, drums beating, pole arms and bare steel, stamping their feet. No sheep will be safe.
I plan to be there to video that one as well.
I wasn't real happy with my video skills on this one and that would be an awesome replacement.
*perhaps less rum before noon would help*

My knee was killing me so walking about like I wanted was out of the question. But, check out the picture of my new "Belt of Awesomeness"! My birthday gift from my Lovely Lady (took until now to be finished).
Also I was delayed by the wonderful Austin traffic and got there about 10 minutes after the parade so no video of that as I hoped. I do have a couple of other videos though and will post them whenever I am unlazy enough to edit them lol.
*the rum is working on soothing my bad knee tonight...*

I saw you and your "Belt of awesomeness!" while they were fitting you into it ;D
I think I recognized a few people from the boards at Sherwood but I was never sure enough to walk up and ask strange questions to strange people.
Here's some photos of our weekend (13th and 14th) at Sherwood! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=208607&id=521669991&ref=nf (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=208607&id=521669991&ref=nf)
I'm the man in the green shirt with the strange look on my face in most of the pictures (I'm not very photogenic) and the lady in blue is my wife. Was our first faire in garb and I can safely say I loved every moment of it!
Don't worry about walking up to strangers. Most folks on the forum are quite used to that. And really, at faire there are no strangers...
Looking at your pictures, I remember you being in the booth. Wish you had said something about the forum.
*and I find that if you walk up and offer rum to new people they become friendly real fast*
Do introduce yourself at faire! I LOVE to meet folks from this forum! We are friendly! Come back and see us again at Sherwood!

I think we're headed back next weekend as well so I may have to put an all call out to everybody for a specific location at a specific time and you can all get me and my wife initiated into the faire family ;D
I can be found at opening gate! And the faerie tea party and the lanes! Do introduce yourselves and give me greeting! That goes for all R/F ers!
We constantly wander, but always keep a keen eye out for the RF pin.
It looks a like like this:

Had a great time despite the cold, but by Sunday I was totally exhausted and headed home early(ish).
Videos will be along once I recover...
Friday nights invasion of the other camps was a blast!
*My new favorite line is "Hi, My name is Teach. Do you have any rum? It doesn't work every time but it worked enough to make getting back to camp pretty tough!*
Due to the unpleasant weather on Saturday, I went to the Faire on Sunday when it was Sunny (for easier picture taking). Since I had to drive back to Houston Sunday evening, I was only at the Faire for about 5 hours. So, I only shot ~400 pictures. When I get the good ones uploaded to my Flickr account, I'll post the link here.
Take Care,
David Baldock
There are so many really wonderful photos on here; thanks to everyone for not only capturing these moments, but getting them all out here in the ether to share!

I've passed you a few times while walking in the parade, and every time I always think, "I need to stop and say hello!" But there's a curve right there where I see you and I'm on the outside of it, and so I always end up running to stay with the group. This weekend, though, I promise I'll pause for a greeting. :-)

Hi Ken! I have short legs and I try to keep up too! The hill is not easy! A Slower parade might be nicer? Someone needs to Slow down that frisky fairy leading us! LOL!

Last Sunday (3/28) Mrs.Z and I made a trip out to Sherwood. It was a very nice spring day, sunny and mild, if a little breezy. I noticed quite a few improvements and additions since my trip out there for opening day. We mostly looked in the shops all day, so I didn't get that many pictures this time, but I have a few I'd like to share....
(http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg301/olmark/Sherwood%203-28/sherwood3-28001.jpg)
Soon after arriving I ran into a friend from the kilt forum; Lethearen from Dallas.

That's it for this trip, I think we'll be putting the faire garb away for this season, at least till the opening of TRF 2010 in October.
You nailed a good shot of the Faerie Tea Party.

Great pictures David!

Great pictures Valt and Melkar! Huzzah!
So sad Sherwood is over- but the pictures help capture the memories! It was a wonderful faire!

Queen Bonnie, I never got to properly introduce myself, but we spoke a couple of times right after parade. I carried the wooden SingleTree sign and wore the bandoleer of pewter flasks. You told me how curiosity kilt the cat and we had a great laugh about it. I wish I could have gotten out to find you and to say hello correctly!
~Ken
You met my evil pirate twin, Ken! She looks just like me- but I am the pretty one! She told me all about those wonderful pewter flasks and meeting you.( She loves to meet all from R/F. as do I!) She has her eye on the big pirate flask! LOL!

Catchin' up. On this run I took a 200mm f/2.8 prime instead of my normal zoom. Hard to see on the small size, but the bokeh is amazing at full-rez.
Playin' with fire...

Amen to that. I never realized the difference between being a Patron and actually working the Faire. I figure over the six weekends (plus the rehearsal weeks), I managed to catch about six full performances. Although listed as the Participant and Patron campgrounds manager, I tried to help out wherever and whenever needed, including getting the Seven Sisters tradition/mythos started. Photo is of me taking a break in the Fairy Queen's throne that I designed and Faire management paid to get carved. It turned out to be a popular photo-op location.

One of the Drishti Dancers http://sites.google.com/site/drishtidancers/home (http://sites.google.com/site/drishtidancers/home) , they were performing under the name The Forest Gypsies in the schedule. I think that's because they were sharing the stage with The Typsy Gypsys http://www.typsygypsys.com/Texas/index.html (http://www.typsygypsys.com/Texas/index.html). Both of these troupes are Austin-based.
The other bellydance troupe was Sirocco http://www.siroccodance.com/1601.html (http://www.siroccodance.com/1601.html) out of San Antonio.
It was also great to see some of the other dancers from Shunyata, Gypsy Dance Theater, etc... wandering the grounds during the various weekends. Actually getting to relax and enjoy instead of being "on". Good times.
Great photos, everyone! Sherwood had an incredible first year and it is a joy to see the images that you all have captured. I only got to attend once, but will surely return next year. Here are a few shots from the 6th weekend.
