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.

I attended the 150th Battle of Bentonville Civil War reenactment and shot a series of portraits with black & white medium format film. I still have a lot to scan, so there will be more of these soon!

Crab boats

The docks are in disrepair, but the crab men still fuel up here before going out to pick up their pots.
