Shameless Self-Promotion

6 years 3 months ago #558443 by garyrhook
So, I have the honor of having a photo included in this year's Austin Events calendar. (If you live in Austin or Portland, you probably know what this is.) For everyone else, it's a resource for free and fee events that take place throughout Austin and surrounding areas. The content can change every year, so you never know what you'll discover.
Every spring I have loads of fun out at  Sherwood Forest Faire , wherein they have a actual jousting tournament. Turns out I love jousting 
 One of my shots from last season made the calendar.
So call me Mr. March. 
 Attached is a FB shot of my full-page image. Yay, me.

Yes, yes it is. You buy this, hang it on the wall, and look for local events to attend. It's quite cool and always has things that you've never heard of.

I think I only posted this on my personal FB page ('gary.r.hook') although I should put something onto one of my business pages (grhookphoto).

THAT looks like a good time!  So when you get hit, how bad does it hurt with all that armor on?

I only care about actual competitions (not shows) where people can get hurt. It's not pretend. Sometimes the guys get hurt when they're knocked off their horse. And their armor is awfully dented (I get access to behind-the-scenes now to shoot).
