Tintype I had made with @Yallquietendown at "Under the Ancient Oaks," a living history program hosted by Southeast Coalition of Authentic Reenactors (SCAR) at the Heyward House Museum in Bluffton, South Carolina. Thanks to Christine Eadie of The Charleston TinTypist, for the outstanding image. Christine is also the creator of the picture seen in my profile image. Wondering why the banjo is held upside down? Nineteenth century photographic technology created a "direct positive" or mirror image (similar to the negative we get in modern film photography). To correct for this, it was common for sitters to reverse their paraphernalia, such as musical instruments, military accoutrements, and other accessories, in order to appear more natural in the final image. Be sure to check out @Yallquietendown and subscribe to his channel and visit SCAR's Facebook page (www.facebook.com/scarfamily) to see photos from this event and more.
