A few weeks back, a group of Civil War Living History re-creationists camped out at the Oakhurst Community Park. Their mission is to show and teach what life was like during that time period of American History. They show the arts and crafts and culture as well as the soldiers and travails of war. It was a great opportunity for photography.
I’ve taken several approaches with the pictures I took at this event. I wanted them to look as if they, too, were from a distant past.
A Call to Arms
The time period for this event was actually pre-Civil War, dealing with the Presidential campaign of 1860. They held a couple of political rallies over the weekend. Both the South and the North were calling for volunteers to their military groups.

This was the military side of the presentation. Next week, I’ll post the other side of this re-creationist encampment.
