I’ve found that trying new things makes me happy.  I know, trite statement, but it’s true.  Kind of sitting and doing the same thing all the time is boring.  Why not do something strange every so often?  Why not go somewhere you have never before?

Don’t worry.  I’m not going to get all philosophical up in this joint.  I mean this is Wrong Side of the Camera, a blog that appreciates the stranger aspects of life.  And feels the need to photograph them constantly.  I spent last evening relying on this man for permission to the go to the bathroom:

Another view:

Looks like some kind of a king?  Well, is a king.  A king of a place called the Medieval Manor, located in a place called South Boston. Oh was this ever fun.  The inside of it looks like the stage set from Shrek and the whole evening had rules.  He, I mean this man above, had to give us permission to go to the bathroom, or as he put it “walk the Canterbury Trail.”  If we in some way angered him, no Canterbury Trail for us.

There were servings of food the size of my head and believe me, I had a large head and performing.  It was a fun evening and honestly more fun than going to some kind of bar or club where I’d have to scream over someone to hear what they were saying and drink some kind of overpriced whiskey sour.

Ah and the performing.  It was pretty good.  I tried to get some relatively all right shots of it.  I didn’t have my giant camera, just the little water proof one because I thought we’d end up getting food thrown at each other, because there were no utensils.  Luckily that didn’t happen, but better safe than sorry.  The diva only comes out when it is necessary and the diva stayed home last night.

Still the Canon D10 did an admirable job of photographing everything.  See:

I made them black and white because there was a heavy red tint on them.  Pretty OK, right?
