I took some action photos of the Magical Realm of Edon that my wonderful wife Melissa was a part of. She played the part of Eternity, the goddess in control of the realm. I have posted 4 teaser photos. I’m not done with them or with all of the other photos (approximately 150 of them) as I’m currently doing my usual photo editing bit with them. When I’ve got them all edited, I will send them for the director’s and creator’s review prior to posting them to my web site. Let me know what y’all think!

I’ve finally made some significant improvements to my website, especially when it comes to the Photos page. I’ve finally gotten around to using the photos that are already uploaded and just imported them into the Gallery system, so now (most) of them are all available. Just simply click the Photos link above (or back to your left) and check them out. Register an account and rate some of them!

A wonderful birthday to be had, December 3rd of this year held the date of Dickens on the Strand at Galveston, TX. I was accompanied by my wonderful fiancee, her best friend and a couple of our other friends, Brent and Lori. We had spent the night in a hotel close to downtown Houston and made our way down the long but not so treacherous drive that is I-45. Once there, we were blasted by furious gusts of cold wind which gave chills down everyone’s back. But, once through the gates, we had a good time watching everyone in costume, including taking lots of pictures, which I have graciously posted here:

For those unfamiliar with Dickens on the Strand (and those too lazy to go to their website), Dickens is set in middle to late 19th century Britain. The festival is considered a global festival, so many individuals were dressed not only in british-style clothing, but also Japanese, Indian (no, not native american), etc. There were plenty of bums (as you can see in the photos), but also plenty of others out of period.

In addition to seeing all the elegant, sophisticated, and cute costumes, we also managed to go aboard the Elissa. This was a sail ship (yes, really old fashioned boating) that was a trading vessel for many years, that was recently given an overhaul to keep it alive. I took many interesting photos of it, but I think for anyone going to Galveston they should drop by and check it out for themselves. Oh, and for those looking at the photo of the ship through the window: Yes, that is a Carnival Cruise ship almost a 100 yards away from this boat. Scary sight, no?

Anywho, please give me some feedback if you like the pictures or not. Thanks!
