Katherine - 28/100

I met Katherine at the Sherwood Forest Faire that I attended with one of my photography Meetup Groups.

 

Katherine owns Majestic Glass. She is a Glass Flameworker who has some really beautiful pieces. I was taking some shots with my macro lens of those pieces when we met. She wanted to be sure I had good intentions. I assured her that this was a hobby and that I was impressed with her work. I introduced myself and asked her if she would mind participating in this project. She said that she did not mind, but that she did not really take good pictures. She doesn't smile much for pictures and tends to close her eyes.

 

Her husband, Steve, decided to get behind me and make her smile. He did, and I really like this picture with her work.

 

Katherine and Steve have a home in Indiana on two acres that they are looking forward to getting back to. When they travel to these fairs in a large trailer with their very big dog (thanks, Katherine for sharing that picture). After this fair, they have one more in Oklahoma, and they are headed back.

 

I asked her how it was living in the campgrounds for these fairs, and she said she could write a book. It was all about respect and tolerance. She seemed to enjoy camaraderie.

 

I enjoyed my conversation with Katherine and Steve. I am going to also include a picture that they joked I should title "Katherine the Great and Steve the Lesser"...

 

Thanks to both of them for participating in this project. Safe travels home to Indiana.
