2011 Natural Bridge Battlefield Civil War Reenactment
This past weekend I had the most wonderful opportunity to not only attend but to photograph the 2011 Natural Bridge Battlefield Civil War Reenactment in Woodville, Florida. Being a two-day event, I had plenty of time to walk around and get a chance to talk to a lot of the re-enactors and participants, and to make a bunch of portraits. It was a blast! There was a camp where the meals were cooked and the tents were pitched, and it brought about many fond Army memories from my own past. The second day was the actual battle, and being positioned in a prime location (with the help of some very helpful and accommodating state park staff) I was able to get almost onto the battlefield. In fact – I had so much dirt and grass in my hair and on my gear from the shoot that I felt like I was part of one of the platoons!

Rich these are awesome! You flew back to Tally to shoot this! Well you could slap them in a history book and most people would think they weren the real thing… I restore a lot of old photos and the tones you selected are perfect! Thanks for sharing..
Rick your photos of the Natural Bridge enactment are great! I restore a lot of old photos and the tones you have selected are perfect. You could take these photos and slap them in a history book and most people wouldn’t know they weren’t the real thing !
Thank you very much, Alicia! I had a blast shooting this. Was completely filthy and smelled like gunpowder by the time I got home 🙂
