    Period Photography

    There will be an event that will be taking place at Old Washington Ar. State Park in Nov. I am trying to locate a period Photographer that is in the Mo. Ark. Tx. Ok. La, area, for this event. I don't know where to look. I have been approached by the Park Supervisor about finding a photographer. Due to its location, and all of the period buildings this would be a ideal place for all kinds of period pictures.
    Some of our guys will be helping me by running the Tavern which is located pretty much in the center of the Park,anyway having a photographer there for the spectators and the participants would be nice.
    Do any of you know where to start looking, or who to talk to?
    This probably should have been in the Photo Forum

    Thank You

    Greetings,
    It so happens a gentleman photographer from East Texas gave me his business card at the Jeffersonreenactment this spring. While I didn't get there in time to have my own portrait taken, his customers seemed quite satisfied:

    By the way, is there a website up for the November event? I hope everything goes smoothly!

      Thank You Miss Elodie.

      No,not yet. I don't know if Billy is putting a website up or not. I do know that the standard Arkansas State Park site does mention something about it. Were you planning on attending? I will be doing school day that Friday and serving "refreshments" throughout the weekend. This is a change of pace for me. I am entering unchartered territory as a Tavern Keeper. I will have to remember I am not the 1stSgt, or I might run off my customers. I am protryaing a Mexican War Veteran who is running the tavern right after the fall of Little Rock to the Federals.

      I will send the information that you posted to Billy. Again Thanks

              Wendell Decker and Tim Parsons both of Bowling Green, KY, are highly recommended. I sat for a formal ferrotype portrait with Tim two months ago and Wendell was right there helping him. Wendell does more field work, while Tim does more studio work. Both ferrotypes, ambrotypes. Tim's contact information is:
              Parsons Photographic Studio, 928 Memphis Jct, Bowling Green, KY 42101, 270-782-3904

              BTW: any one have a source for tin type or amber type cases?
