Was saving this for an attempt at creating some even more haunting later, of course had less than no time. The intent was to run it off on watercolor paper and have at it- love watercolors, haven't done them for a few years. This seemed an awfully fine piece to test what might be left of the abilities.
Anyway, still might give it a shot along with a few of the children's portraits. It's vastly different from colorized prints-a whole, ' nother genre. Just love this shot above all other is the Belle Plain encampment/supply series. SO haunting. Not one other photo better illustrates Time's bell- it's vibration post-strike like the hum in the woods you hear above and below the noise of the creek, so elusive! Most important technological advance? Photography . We get to prove we were indeed here, the 2nd Army Corp watered horses in an inlet one warm evening in 1862, a camp settled towards slumber, ships crews emptied cleaned holds at the wharf.
Just a very cool photo if you like getting lost in this kind of thing, tha's all.
Original and cropped.
