I knew that my Sunday assignment a couple of weeks ago was just filler for the paper, which is a little bit discouraging when there is so much to shoot. In situations like that, to make myself actually work hard on the assignment, I have gotten used to envisioning a gallery online, which these days will be seen by more people than the single photo on the back page of the local section. So for this assignment about Camlann, a Medieval village and "living history museum" in Carnation, I wanted to do a series of diptychs, with a portrait and a detail side by side. I wasn't sure if this would be something that could go online, and to my disappointment, it wasn't (though I was not surprised in the least). So Erika Schultz, who was standing in that day as editor, encouraged me to put the diptychs up on my blog. Well, I didn't have a blog, but now I do. Thanks Erika. Here they are. You can also see the full gallery at The Seattle Times (un-diptyched) here.
Janelle Bighinatti (cq), of Seattle, shows off a shoe that she made during a festival at the Camlann Medieval Village, a living history museum, in Carnation on Sunday, August 15, 2010. Bighinatti plays the role of Elizabeth, a shoemaker in a rural English village in the year 1376.
