The Jousting Life's Third Anniversary

The Jousting Life website was officially launched on February 12, 2012. Today is The Jousting Life's third anniversary.

During that first February back in 2012, The Jousting Life website received a total of 697 pageviews. Now, the website can get that many pageviews in a single day, and it's continuing to grow. To the jousters, tournament organizers, photographers, videographers and all the others who share with me the information, photos and videos that I use to create articles for The Jousting Life, and to all of you who read those articles and share them with your friends:

THANK YOU!

Without all of you, The Jousting Life could not be what it is today.

To celebrate this anniversary, I thought I'd share a picture from the first joust I ever photographed back in 2008.

And a photo from the first jousting tournament I reported on for The Jousting Life in 2012.

Hopefully, I will be able to report on many more jousting tournaments in the years to come.
