Faces of the Faire

"Face Away"

What better way to start a collection named "Faces of the Faire" than to have a one that looks away. Floral crowns where definitely a popular attraction at the shire this year.

"Face Off!"

What renaissance faire would be complete without a knight in shining armor! You can see the focus and intensity in his eyes as he readies to face down his opponent in a joust.

"Face Helmeted"

The Black and White knight of Kent in the world of the New York Renaissance Faire; not all helmets have a great view.

"Face Who?!"

They have a "Birds of Prey" area in the shire and this fella decided to face the camera. No question where the eyes are on this hooter.

"Face Through Strings"

There were many musicians at the faire; some playing period pieces, like this harpist; some giving an interesting twist on the modern, like Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells on a mobile carillon.

"Faces of Craft"

Lots of very cool artisans and craftsmen at the Faire; there's something for everybody!

"Face Within"

The face under the armor, after the show, enjoying a conversation with friends and visitors to the Faire.

"Face Thrills"

Dextre Tripp, from juggling chainsaws and torches to strapping fireworks to his bare chest and lighting them; Dextre puts on an incredibly entertaining show at the Faire. Together with his wife, Jayna Lee, they also perform as Circus Stella, where they entertain with puppies to raise awareness of shelter dogs and the adoption of rescue animals.

"Faced Knives"

A familiar face from our previous visits to the Faire. Arnold, from the Stewart and Arnold Knife Throwing Show, taking a well deserved break and watching the crowds after his show.

"Faces of Merriment"

Dancers take to the field before the evening's joust.

"Face Morale"

"We shall not stand for anything less than victory!" A knight, in-character, rousing the audience on horseback for support and cheers.

"Face a Steed"

Finally, what renaissance faire would be complete without a fine steed?
