Matusalem Posted November 1, 2007 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.
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted November 4, 2007 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! Bo
BriarRose Kildare Posted November 4, 2007 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.
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 It's the young'uns what makes life worth livin'! Give the little one an extra hug. That is precious! Bo
Abrams Posted November 4, 2007 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...
'Bastian Devareaux Posted November 4, 2007 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.... It is time to pause, even so early, for this account is not intended to be about my life...but is, as I have said, about my life's secrets. Secrecy is intrinsic to my work. ~ Christopher Priest “Five and Twenty Ponies, Trotting thru’ the Dark. Brandy for the Parson, 'Baccy for the Clerk. Laces for a Lady, Letters for a Spy.Watch the wall my darling; While the Gentlemen go by.”~Rudyard Kipling
BriarRose Kildare Posted November 5, 2007 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. 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.

And I am never disappointed because I always seem to see a spirit or two hanging around. Thank you, Chere...You are too kind. 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 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." (from The Plymouth Journal, July 1701)
BriarRose Kildare Posted November 5, 2007 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 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
Captain Jacob Badger Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 A funny one fer ye alls......me shipsrat 'Peppa',,,,,,doin' what ships rats do best......stealin' gold from the table... Yes, it be pointy…..and ye be at the wrong side o’ it.
BriarRose Kildare Posted November 8, 2007 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.

Red-Handed Jill Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Heh. Here's a pic of one of the Tales of the Seven Seas member's rat Missy - guzzling up the rum and coke. He only had his back turned for a couple of seconds...
blackjohn Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 It's the young'uns what makes life worth livin'! Give the little one an extra hug. That is precious! Bo You got that right. That kid's smile just made my day. "Why, it makes me young again. I was going to forget my timber leg, I was. It's a pleasant thing to be young and have ten toes, and you may lay to that."

Red Cat Jenny Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 Montauk Lighthouse Keepers Quarters - LI, NY One of my favorite places on the S shore. 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.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...
Capt. Sterling Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Here's a couple of pics of me wee lad dressed up for Halloween. OMG, I just found these... He is adorable! "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/
'Bastian Devareaux Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 I aquired these on Thanksgiving Day while home in Minnesota. It had snowed the day before, but was melting of. You might say, these are my Aunt and Uncle's neighbors....Very polite and quiet ones.

Lily Alexander Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 My Feeeeeeeeet. If you're gonna give me a headache, please bring me an aspirin! http://www.forttaylorpyrates.com/
Mary Diamond Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 My Feeeeeeeeet. Ouch, dammit ~ ow! Ah, gotta love that coral. Would love to still be there now ~ this is what I get to see: Oooh, shiny!
BriarRose Kildare Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 OMG, I just found these... He is adorable! Thank you so much. When I can I will post a few more pics of me wee lad. I enjoyed making up his costume. He wanted to be a scarecrow which made me happy since I love scarecrows.

Captain Jim Posted December 6, 2007 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 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!
