I will have to look up his card, I think I have it in my basket. He is located around Hale Farm area. He also took a pic of a young couple who got engaged(Surprise!) on Sunday. It was really beautiful. I wonder if @Belle Montgomery knows who he is..she was across from him with her marvelous display.

As far as I know, Michael Rhodes was the only tintype photographer at Hale Farm.

Why thank y'all!!

Oh to be young again! Yeah, baby face for sure...It ain't like that no more, though!! Like my grandmother used to whisper: "That salad's done turned!"

But thanks all the same!

Well, then I'm a turned salad too. Nice to know I'm in good company.

I can't wait to use that phrase now!

And he's succeeding too! If I didn't know better, I would have believed it to be an genuine picture from the 19th century.

The same goes for all the other pictures posted in this thread.

I know I'm not supposed to swear on this forum, and I'm trying to be good. But when I saw your photo, @War Horse , I slipped! So let's just say that image is pretty bad-arse.

(Judges? Is "arse" okay? Bad Butt isn't quite as effective. Bad Keister sounds like someone you knew in high school. Bad Behind sounds absolutely ridiculous.)

That is wonderful! He needs some hair decorations though..

He needs some hair decorations though..

I guess that was not part of the assignment. The pictured Elder had killed the deer with an arrow and he was assigned to use every part of that deer. Of course the meat was easy, but he made the buckskin, carved the buttons from the antlers, carved a knife handle, and he also made a sheath for the knife (you cannot see the knife -- it was strapped to his leg) odds and end of bone, etc were used on the necklace.

He needs a feather from Brother Eagle. Tied to his hair. I understand there is a waiting list for those..Only Native Americans can possess feathers from a bird of prey, especially an Eagle. Most feathers we see are goose. They are large and dye able. My friend has a very large brown flight feather. He's afraid to ID it, for fear it will be taken away. I say, If Brother Eagle gifts you with a feather, there is a reason. You just have to find it!

Great photo, at any rate!
