Portraits From Bentonville #6

This one is sort of a follow-up from the last one, with an interesting side story… When I arrived at the Bentonville reenactment and started looking for shots, this gentleman was the first person I spotted. He had started a small fire and was heating up a snack of salt pork (that explains the look on his face in the previous photo!) I shot these two frames, thanked him and moved on. Shortly I realized that I'd failed to get his contact info so if the shots were great I could send him a copy. Walked back but didn't see him. The rest of the day I was pretty good about collecting email addresses.

After I posted the previous shot I got a message from a Facebook friend who recognized him and got me in touch! Amazing. There were hundreds of re-enacters out there- what are the odds? Small world.
