Lots.I would think they are difficult to do......no color involved ??????
It stuck out to me how young he is.Why does it have to be a dead Johnny? Can you do a dead Fed?

I've done a total of 3-4 dead photographs, with a 50/50 split between confederates and union.
I'm not a supporter of either side, I just do the highest quality photographs.
It's weird to think about how young some men were.One of my GG Uncles was 15 when he joined the war. Two months before the Battle of Franklin. He became a minister.
Thanks man - And yeah, he doesn't even look to be in his teens.Great work as usual. The kid looks like he is in middle school. 13.
Was your Uncle Confederate or Union. I think it is interesting that someone so young would become a minister. I think it goes to show how great the need was for spiritual guidance among the troops. If you have more info on your ancestor, I wish you would share it.One of my GG Uncles was 15 when he joined the war. Two months before the Battle of Franklin. He became a minister.
There are more photographs of dead Confederates out there than Federals, due photographers like Alexander Gardner and Mathew Brady fallowing the Army of the Potomac and primarily taking photos of only dead Confederates since taking photos of dead Federals would be bad for Northern moral. There are a few photographs of dead Federals at Gettysburg which Zuzah has colored. None were taken at Petersburg, only dead Confederates and only one of Federals was taken at Antietam.Why does it have to be a dead Johnny? Can you do a dead Fed?
There's a few Confederates and Union at Bull Run too, one is a particular photograph looking in to a clearing with trees and bushes surrounding 3 or 4 men, lying face down. Hauntingly beautiful.There are more photographs of dead Confederates out there than Federals, due photographers like Alexander Gardner and Mathew Brady fallowing the Army of the Potomac and primarily taking photos of only dead Confederates since taking photos of dead Federals would be bad for Northern moral.

There really aren't that many Civil War photographs of dead soldiers out there compare to all the other photographs taken during the war, and about 90% of them are of Confederates.
Forgot about that one, I'll have to find it again, its quite rare and I think the photographer remains unknown.There's a few Confederates and Union at Bull Run too, one is a particular photograph looking in to a clearing with trees and bushes surrounding 3 or 4 men, lying face down.

Yeah, it's probably going to be my next 'gorey' project, it's been a photograph I've wanted to get my hands on for a while now.Forgot about that one, I'll have to find it again, its quite rare and I think the photographer remains unknown.
Well you did a good job on this one Zuzah, but its certainly not a pretty one is it.Yeah, it's probably going to be my next 'gorey' project, it's been a photograph I've wanted to get my hands on for a while now.
Be a shame to call it pretty, but thanks man.Well you did a good job on this one Zuzah, but its certainly not a pretty one ain't it.
Felt like trying to do a dead person again, haven't had graphic images on here in a while.
