The market for photographic services demonstrates the aphorism " A picture is worth a thousand words" which has an interesting basis in the history of photography. Magazines and newspapers, companies putting up Web sites, advertising agencies and other groups pay for photography.
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.
