They can be found right here.

I think I'm getting the fencing photography down...I picked up some pretty cool shots at the division national qualifiers on Saturday.

I was supposed to fence, but I guess photographing it was an okay substitute.

But next year I will be fencing them.

Most of those moves would SO not work with rapiers.

Which I have to arrange for a dozen teenage boys to learn how to use for a production of Romeo and Juliet next year.

Without anybody losing any body parts, like eyes.

Why oh why didn't I pay more attention in fencing class?

Oh, that's right. I dropped the class, after they held me down and painted a big bullseye on my butt.

Do you guys have the equipment? There's a company in Kentucky that deals with stage fencing equipment and might know some stuff about training actors.
