Matusalem Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Just got my son outfitted for ACW... The Real Deal! Very niiiiiiiice! Your son should find a decent photographer that specializes in sepia-toned tintype or Ambrotype portraits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Thanks, I am thinking about getting my old Canon AE-1 P out and start taking shots again. I have a new freind that was a professional photographer (now turned teacher) that can do the developing for me. That boy of mine is one great kid too. Hard to believe he came from me sometimes!

BriarRose Kildare Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Here's a couple of pics of me wee lad dressed up for Halloween. Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all. The Dimension of Time is only a doorway to open. A Time Traveler I am and a Lover of Delights whatever they may be. There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abrams Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Bo, you've got a handsome young lad there. What other periods does he (and you, for that matter) reenact? I've got the heart of a pirate, just not the garb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Bastian Devareaux Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Taking advantage of the mild Autumn weather we are having, it was only proper to use it to fullest measure. The images following are from a town called Denton, north of DFW. The grounds are listed in the Texas Historical ledgers and contain sites from the Texas Revolution through World War II. I have always had an appreciation for old "Cities of the Dead"; the art and architecture to be appreciated within. Here are a couple examples of what I captured....

BriarRose Kildare Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Wow...those pics are amazing. I especially like the first picture. I enjoy walking thru the city of the dead as well, Bastian Devareaux, there is much you can learn and discover. And I am never disappointed because I always seem to see a spirit or two hanging around.

I dare say I have been in the habit of wandering amongst monuments since I was a child. I have an uncle who's back fence-lines divides his property from a very grand old cemetary back home. Here are two of my personal favorites from a cemetary in Wisconsin...Enjoy!

Iron Jon Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I also enjoy wandering around the cemetery occasionally. Here are a few shots from Salem this summer. You could feel the spirits there as well. Jonathan Washbourne "Jonathan Washbourne Junr of Bridgwater appeared in court and was ordered to pay £5 fees and charges or be publicly whipped 20 stripes for his abusive and uncivil behaviour to Elizabeth Canaday Late of said Bridgwater by Thrusting up or putting of a skunk under the Cloaths to her Naked Body And then saying he had Done the office of a midwife."

BriarRose Kildare Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Thank you both for the awesome pictures. I truly appreciate it. Iron Jon, those pics made me homesick...I miss Salem a lot. Thanks so much for bringing back happy memories for me. Bastian, thos are some wondeful pictures. Wish I could visit and take a walk thru.

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Bo, you've got a handsome young lad there. What other periods does he (and you, for that matter) reenact? Thank ye kindly sir. We have been into the F&I period and colonial/ Rev-War scene for as long as he has been alive,(16 years already! ), but we are going to cross over into the ACW period due to the logistics of travel to events. Not much happens in mid Missouri for those periods, but no shortage of ACW events. He is going to do the Pyrate thing too, but he has to get his drivers license and a job to help ol' dad out! Don't we all know how expensive this can get! I've been selling/swapping out clothing, firearms and other gear to get us into the portrayal more quickly. Here's one I've posted before from one of the last colonial events we attended before time-jumping: Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BriarRose Kildare Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 OMG, how adorable and sweet. What a wonderful picture of Peppa. My wee lad got a kick out of it too. He really liked her picture. Oh, how I wish I could hold her. I love mice and rats. Thanks for sharing the picture. Peppa makes a fabulous Pyrate.

The orig lighthouse was comissioned around the GaOP, the base is still there This is just such a cool doorway - it needs a pirate or two Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help....

Captain Jim Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 My Feeeeeeeeet. I thought I had cleared all of those from under my bed, but apparently these damn bits of coral can walk. So, yes, my feet hurt from walking on them but I had to explain that bruise on my butt to my wife when I got home. So: My Buuuuuutttttt! (Really dear, I rolled over on some coral. See? Look at this picture; coral, lots of coral. Honest. Just ask the other Pyrates.) My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

Misson Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 My Feeeeeeeeet. I'll second that. The campsite is in a great location...except for the walking back and forth to the fort part. Coral, coral, everywhere... Period-looking shoes are definitely not hiking shoes (even with non-preiod gel insoles)! My feeeeet!
