The Dark Ones February Party was last night. As usual I was there with camera in hand wandering and snapping pics when I stepped into the backyard and encountered someone I hadn't seen/met before (but whom I honestly thought I had "seen around" in the past). He's in garb (as am I) and I say to him: "I have to take your picture." Not "Hello" or "Hi, I'm Wilgar, can I take your picture?". It was just a feeling that I had that I already knew him. So, after snapping the pic a few times (damn! Low Light photography is challenging!) we started talking. And THAT'S when it happened. The things he told me about his life and how he came to be a traveling performer (he's a Juggler and works the Ren Faire circuits for a living) opened my mind. He's also a Martial Artist, and a Photographer. If he played drums, I would have asked him to marry me right there!
A little later I introduced him to my best friend Oshiah who is my Martial Arts teacher as well and pretty soon Thomas and Oshiah are lost in conversation. (Guess I done good!)
I will be working on posting the pics from the party and posting them to my Flickr page very soon. In the meantime, watch Thomas's Demo Video to get a hint at what he does.
Thanks everyone!
