Ok I know this is short notice, but...
If you are within driving distance of the Chicago/Milwaukee area, please join my wife Becky and me at the third annual POTN invasion of the Bristol, WI Renaissance Faire on Sunday, August 31, 2008!
No where else will you find so many interesting people to photograph. This event is a people-photographer's dream! The performers at the faire, along with many of the guests, will be in lavish costumes from years-gone-by. These people are accustomed to being photographed, and there will be many photographers there.
This is wholesome family fun where people of all ages play dress-up and have a blast. There is great food and drink, and plenty to see and do. Even a special area for the kids with dozens of rides & games!
Here are the pertinent details:
