I found myself on Governor's Island this past weekend where an encampment of Civil War re-enactors were teaching us all about the Civil War. They were all wonderful models, and I had a great time afterward working on the post processing of the image. I did research on Matthew Brady, who was a famous photographer of the period, and worked hard to come up with an approach that looked authentic to the period. If these folks went to so much trouble to dress and act authentically to the period, it was the least I could do.
