And now for something completely different....

I was Union, he was a Confederate, but that did not stop us from walking to the battlefield together hand-in-hand. It was an outright scandal.
This past Saturday I was lucky enough to accompany Tucker on one of his re-enactment shoots for an upcoming Nat Geo documentary. In order to be right in the middle of all the action we had to dress the part. It was such fun, although it does feel a bit eerie when your dressed as a Union soldier hiding behind a rock and having a line of Confederates shooting at you. Fortunately having my trusty 5D with my 70-200 lens with me marked me as an obvious civilian, so they let me live.
Everyone was incredibly kind, answering all of our questions, and firing off canons for us. After the public left both sides even invited us for dinner. That peach cobbler was divine! Now that's making history fun!

Special thanks to:
Jennifer Roger (President of NCWA)





This is Tucker doing his thing!
