Greetings, and welcome to my website of Society for Creative Anachronism photographs. I am a proud resident of the Principality of Cynagua in the West Kingdom, the birthplace of the SCA.


September 2008

I will be on hiatus from the SCA while my husband and I build a new home.

I hope to return to events by the Spring of 2009.

For those interested in the progress of our home you may wish to visit our site dedicated to its construction: http://www.darklingcastle.com

In the meantime, please enjoy two additions to my gallery:

OPUS ANGLICANUM – I had the honor and privilege to photograph this exquisite burse for the cover of TOURNAMENTS ILLUMINATED, Issue 167, Third Quarter, 2008. With the gracious permission of the artist and creator, Richenda Elizabeth Coffin (OL, OP), I am posting increased resolution color images of the burse for all to enjoy and appreciate this magnificent piece of work.

FAVORITES – A selection of my photos from over the years that I am particularly fond of. I hope you will be, as well.

Please believe I remain,

YiS,

Esmeralda of the Lakes
