Just got my scanner hooked up and working and thought I would send along some of these photos. These span the many years of my reenacting career, but certainly do not include all the photos I had taken. I hope you like them.

Image

This is at Harper's Ferry, WV. We are portraying Confederate prisoners taken during the fighting for that town. I am the officer standing in the left of the photo.

Image

F Company, 21st Virginia Infantry. I am the officer in front on the right. This is an actual Tintype, by the way.

Image

Another tintype of F Company.

Image

Private, Co. A, 5th New York, Duryee's Zouaves.

Image

Election Day 1860 at Harper's Ferry, WV. We are portraying Virginia Militia here. I am the officer on the right.

Hotel Chamerlin, Hampton Roads, VA. Lee/Jackson Ball. Our Militia uniforms.

Just scratching an itch.

The First Sgt. doesn't like people approaching the Captain. ;)

Present arms!

In the yard of the Bushong House at New Market Battlefield, VA

Image

French Admiral for the movie Ironclads on TNT. I got to go to wardrobe and help them pick the uniform, most of which was mine anyway, then got to go to makeup and have a pretty lady dye my beard and hair and make up my face. I got the royal treatment for a day. :)

Image

5th New York in Washington, D.C. for the Grand Review of the Army of the Potomac. I am 2nd from the right, front rank.

Image

Union Provost Guard at Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor, MD. Here we are dealing with a ne'er do well. ;)

Image

Appomattox Courthouse, VA for National Park Service recreation of the surrender. Just waiting for things to get started.

Image

Captain Bayne and 1st Lt. Wilburn.
