Two young messengers listen intently to the instructions from an officer during a Civil War reenactment near Fort Meade, Florida. The boys are being told to "run" messages over to soldiers manning the cannons; it is clear that they take their job very seriously. The sepia tones of this image give it a vintage look that is appropriate to the subject. I have applied a very light texture to this image that may be most apparent in a full resolution preview on the faces.

This photo won 2nd place in the Toned, Tinted and Solarized class at the highly competitive 2015 Iowa State Fair

I use my camera to explore the world around me and as a basis for creative expression. Because I live in Nebraska, I have a fondness for rural scenes that will be evident as you explore my images, but I enjoy traveling and have many other interests as well. I hope you enjoy your visit.
