Phil Anderson's Photos: pictures of KAOS, MRS and SCA activities

The pictures on these pages were originally primarily taken at events associated with KAOS, the SCA Barony of Southron Gaard and the University of Canterbury Mediaeval and Renaisance Society (Ordo Cygni), none of which should be blamed for photos associated with the others! A few are from other occasions, but generally involve at least some people from the same extended social group. They are a mixture of current and historical; the current ones are taken with a digital camera and the historical ones scanned from photographs or taken with an older digital. I generally have higher-resolution copies available; I reduced the size of most on-line images to save bandwidth. There are also quite a few photos of current events that don't go on line.

Current photos from any given event are generally in chronological order as far as can be established. It's rarely possible to do this for the historical shots.

See the change log for information on what's been added recently.

I'm always looking for people with albums from the history of KAOS, Southron Gaard and the MRS which I can borrow and scan. Also, I'm always happy to receive extra information about the people or places in any of the photos -- eventually I'd like to list all the names and venues depicted. Let me know if you can help.

If anyone is curious about various statistics for the site, these are updated every half hour or so at www.paradise.gen.nz/~sloth/stats/

All pictures are Copyright © Phil Anderson, 1998-2012 unless otherwise credited. You should contact me if you want to use any of the photos -- I'll normally give permission for non-profit use. If it's a photo of you, there's no need to ask.
