ReEnactments

As photographers, many of us are constantly looking for new fun things to shoot. One thing that I find is always fun to go shoot are reenactments. In this case I shot a World War II island Assault Reenactment. This way I get to play war photographer without getting actually shot at.

Huh. I don't think we even have re-enactments in Edmonton...But, it's definitely a good idea! :) The first two shots are pretty consistent with what I see in textbooks. Nicely done.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this kind of play and have been incorporating it into my own personal work for years. Thanks for posting these :highfive:

Cool! You get to do all the fun stuff, Jello!

Ya this place is cool.. They have an actual PT boat in the museum and one of the only working Flame Throwers from WWII. Wish I had one of these!! Would make rush hour much more interesting!!

Great work (But I'd lose #5 - the blanks sort of spoil it). Well done. Have you thought about trying to age these to look more period?

Thanks! Actually those are authentic WWII Sand Bags around a fox hole... Oh you said Blanks not blankets... Sorry

Cool stuff. Was this a one off thing? You speak as though you can go there and shoot this often?

Actually in this case its a museum so you can go there anytime but they only do the reenactment several times a year.
