About the blog:
After having a regular photoblog (which you can find a link for below) for awhile, I realized that I wanted somewhere special to showcase my photos from reenactments. Reenacting is a large and important part of my life, and the photos I take there are rather different than the photos I take of pretty much anything else. So, I felt they deserved their own space, and here it is.
I have been a reenactor for 13 years now. I started at age 12 with French and Indian War, and then moved to Revolutionary War era stuff as well. In the last year or two, I have gotten into WWII reenacting, which I very much enjoy. It has a very different atmosphere from 18th century reenacting, but I enjoy them both. My boyfriend Marc is also a reenactor, with far more impressions than I have. Neither of my parents are reenactors, but they were wonderfully supportive of my hobby when I was young, and without them, I would not have been able to participate.
About the photographer:
I’m a nomadic photojournalist-hopeful, currently teaching English on a small, mountainous island on the southwestern-most tip of South Korea. I have a bit of a problem with feeling like I was born at the wrong point in history, which I remedy by spending my spare time as a historical reenactor. I’m a bit of an adventurer, and I have a penchant for tallship sailing, flying planes, and traveling the world alone.
I’m always planning something, with one foot already out the door. I’m generally hard to tie down and prone to sudden shifts of interests and location. I’m a contemplative Quaker on the more traditional end of the spectrum. I’m a voracious reader to whom nothing is too boring to learn, with a propensity for spontaneous roadtrips to other parts of the country. I am very much in love with a wonderful Frenchman with whom I share a dream of living in rural Vermont or Pennsylvania, and we both have a fondness for shooting antiquated firearms and sewing 250 year old clothing. I live a relatively simple lifestyle (no cell phone, no washer or dryer, no dishwasher, no car, no tv) by choice, and try to roll with life’s punches as much as possible.
I’m an opinionated yet respectful liberal, a loquacious Quaker, an obsessive social-networker, an internet junkie of the most addicted sort, and most of all, a wanderer, in both the literal and the figurative sense.
I also write ALL THE TIME, especially since I have inordinate amounts of free time here in Korea. I have several other blogs, which are:
Living Life Frame by Frame - My general life blog
Freeze-Frame - My general photoblog.
Waygook Next Door - My Korea blog.
Shut Up and Listen - My spirituality blog.
My Students are Doomed - My teaching blog.
101 in 1001 - My blog of goals for the next 2.75ish years.
