This print was rather interesting for me, visually. There is little of the participants, with the primary visual being smoke from the volley just fired. Half fired while the other half reloaded. The images of this portfolio are the result of photographing the participants, in action or behind the battles in their respective bivouac, as a photojournalist, visually capturing the essence of life in a Civil War encampment, meeting enemy troops; respectively.
Being the accepted photographer/videographer for the Civil War Council, Salem, Oregon, and sporting badges I made up that made the photo team look like we were from the New York Times. The troop movement and battle scenes were photographed and video taped while I was on the battle field, floating and shooting. Yes, it was sweet indeed.
This print was developed in sodium citrate, then toned in palladium.
