  I want to thank all the reenactors who appear here and all the ones I've yet to photo. You provide photographers great subjects and also keep alive the lessons and beauty of a time gone by. I enjoy traveling to the events. I like to catch "morning colors" and photograph the camp sites all day. I try to keep my ears open and learn when special events are planned. I always seem to learn something helpful just by listening. Continuously walking around, I look for the opportunities where the reenactors are doing their normal routines, unposed and unseen. I look for the colors of the period and the realism. I also look for the women and their beautiful dresses. I try to avoid photographing modern things but do not get judgmental about "period" correctness (also known as "farberisms").
