I just realized that I have used collages a lot recently. I hope you don't mind that I'm doing some more in this post! They're just so useful when you have a lot of pictures but don't want to clutter your post with a bunch of big pictures. =)
A couple weeks ago we went to the Fort Nisqually Living History Museum for their Brigade Encampment event. Every summer we look forward to going to Fort Nisqually for Family Fun Night and Brigade Encampment. We love both events, and have gone to them almost every year for more then ten years! Family Fun Night is in July, and Brigade Encampment is in August.
From their website:
"Fort Nisqually is a living history museum where volunteers and staff, in period clothing, demonstrate the crafts of the 19th century and engage visitors in historic dialogue during the Living History Days and other events throughout the year."
"Brigade Encampment has something for the whole family including the popular 'Engagé for the Day' program and Kids' Alley where visitors may participate in hands-on presentations. Upon learning new skills, such as firestarting with flint and steel, blacksmithing, or spinning wool, visitors can sign on as an honorary apprentice for the day with the Hudson's Bay Company!"
We all learned about different trades and crafts from re-enactors, and got beads for everything we learned. Once you had collected at least five beads, you could become an honorary apprentice for the day with the Hudson's Bay Company. We collected quite a few beads in all, but there was one thing we wanted to do first before we signed on as an honorary apprentice....

A Punch and Judy puppet show! I remember watching these every year, and this year they had new puppets. The girl who does the puppet show is really good, too. Everyone has lots of fun watching it, and there are a lot of people laughing.
While we were becoming honorary apprentices, I noticed another reflection that I wanted to take a picture of (above collage, last picture). =D
sounds like great fun :) I love collages too. and yours are pretty good. your weekend reflections shots are awesome! congrats :) I would love to feature a Photographic {Tour} of your hometown in my 'wonderland'. check it out and let me know: http://www.anasofiaeugenio.com/p/photographic-tour.html :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove your reflections in the camera lens. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice travel in time, indeed ! Thanks for sharing this wonderful experience... I specially enjoyed the reflection picture amazing how much of the world can stand in such a little lens... :D
ReplyDeleteIt's still crazy to me that I've lived here all my life and never gone here and seen this fort in action!! I suppose it's because I don't have kids. :) I should have some of those so that it makes these things more fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI think your collages are great! Me, I wish I have more patience with them. I just find them a bit too painstaking to put together (I'm just plain lazy).
