An event coverage assignment from my first Photojournalism class PJN204.
The Renaissance Faire in Irwindale was an absolute blast, and the people could not have been kinder. A series of singles turned into three weekends of continuous shooting spent, ensuring the event had been covered thoroughly. This assignment definitely inspired a future story I want to pursue in 2011 about this Faire.
