Reenactor Humor
Image above is from an original WW2 postcard
Soldiers have always used humor to make the best of a bad situation. Reenactors are definitely not soldier, but we still like to poke fun at ourselves & at our adversaries. I am no different!
This is one of my early photo modifications. Nothing too complex here. Just white out the original drawing & insert the text of your choice. |
I took these photos at the Atlanta History Center on Memorial Day 2003. Since I had the only vehicle, we had to set up outside while the rest of the living historians set up inside the museum. ...so, Frank Edwards & I decided to have a little fun! Two pics, a little photoshop, and voila! Instant identical twins! Click the photos to the left to see the full size verison. |
Heck, it worked so good, we decided to try it again the next day. The first picture is EIGHT copies of me! The second picture is Louis Varnell as a squad of VN era Marines on patrol. |
Stay tuned for more...
