From time to time, a few of us scrounge up enough greenbacks to pay a wet-plate artist to strike an image of us. Here are a few images of campaigners for your review. Be forewarned that some of these images will take a while to load.

These pictures are posted with the permission of those photographed. If you would like to submit a photo for this page, please forward with appropriate information to Paul Calloway.

8/2/01: I'm not able to accept new photos at this time due to lack of storage space. If you have photos already on the net that I can link to send me those. But don't send me photos currently until I figure out a way to get some internet space. - PC

WARNING:  What you are about to see may deceive you... these are IN FACT reenactors.
NOTE: For sake of authenticity and such, I'm only posting wet-plate images. I reserve the right to refuse to post any image on the basis of my own perception of authenticity.
