A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
Whenever I try to explain the Society to folks who have never experienced it, I always seem to end up dragging out my photo album. Why? Well, because, as the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words.
So much of what we do in the Society is visual and experiential that it is nearly impossible sometimes to explain it with mere words, and have it end up sounding nearly as interesting, fun, and, well, cool as it acutally is.
I've dug through my photo album and have tried to find the photographs
that, to me, best express what we are trying to do in the Society. These
are not always my favorite photos, or even my best ones, but they are
the ones that paint a portrait of who we are and what we are trying to
do. Do they show our best face? You bet. But they also show the
Society that I always see in my mind's eye....not the one where it rains
at camping events and I'm wearing sneakers and glasses and you are
drinking a soda, but rather the one where we are Lords and Ladies serving
Kings and Queens, and the age of Chivalry is in full bloom. This part of
the Society exists - here are the pictures to prove it - and it is my
hope that it is the Society that each of us strives towards at every
event we go to.
Please browse these pages as often as you like, and feel free to
direct new folks here if you think they might want to take a peek at what
we do before they try it. I took every picture on this site myself (save
two, which are noted). Often I know the people in the picture.
Sometimes I do not. If you find a photograph of yourself here that you
wish removed, please drop me a note and I will be happy to do so. I live
in the Kingdom of the East, so all of the photos here were taken at
Eastern events, or at Pennsic War.
You may view the photos in two ways. They are arranged as a photo
album (in no particular order) which you may browse through one page at a
time. Or, if you prefer, I have set up an image index (below) from which
you may select photos of a particular subject which interests you. In
either case, clicking HOME on any page will bring you back to this
one. Mistress Anastasia Guta
