Wanna Be on the December Cover of the AC?

[Eric Tipton]

Greetings Everyone:

Well, it is the 20th of the month, so the question is, "Wanna Be on the December Cover of the Authentic Campaigner?"

We are looking for images that best-exemplify the look of the authentic living historian. Images taken with period technology only are required (wet plate, pencil drawing, field sketches, etc.) Again this month, please, no "images of the dead". We have had two "dead" covers recently and that is plenty for a while.

Submission Guidelines:

1) We will accept the first ten image submissions only. The thread will be closed after the tenth image is submitted, and any images submitted after the tenth will be deleted from the thread.

2) Once we have ten images, the staff will select the final three. The final three will then be put up for a general vote to the membership of the forum. The winning image will be placed on the front "cover" of the web site for one month.

3) Make sure and attach the photo to your post. If necessary, we will crop the photo for the best fit.

4) The Moderators/Administrators reserve the right to remove any submittals that they feel don't meet the standards of the Authentic Campaigner.

Now, let's see your best images!

I'd like to make a submission from the last time I was in the area of Bummers... "A Hard Day's Fight" Pickett's Mill, 2008. Picture is the artistry of Mr. Wendell Decker... the sweat was real.

All the best- Johnny Lloyd :wink_smil

PS- the other one of me is from Bummers last weekend for comparison to the tintype. I thought it was neat. Amazing what a rendering program can do. ;)
