I enjoy photography as a hobby. I have been taking pictures at the Festival for over 20 years. I have been video recording festival activities since 1998. I do this because I love to do it! It's a wonderful hobby and I have fun doing it. One interesting note I would like to share.......when I was a toddler I rode in the very first FALL FESTIVAL OF LEAVES PARADE.  My parents were in the local camera club, and they built a float and I rode on my mother's lap while my dad took pictures of us going down main street on the float. Those pictures are in slide form, and we still have them. They are interesting to see, because you can see all of the business up and down Bainbridge and how the village has changed since then.
