When my eyesight was still good, I was a bit of an amateur photographer. This is one of mine.
I used to love going to reenactments, I was guaranteed to get decent photos. These are French Napoleonic troops, dated around 1800.

Did you ever go to the re-enactments at Azincourt?

No. I think it was all pretty local. This one was at Broadlands down in Romsey, which is only probably 20 miles away. I remember the guy last week was in Lacock, n Wilts. But they dried up while I still photographed, event insurance became prohibitive. Doesn’t surprise me that this happens everywhere.

Event insurance, and health and safety have a lot to answer for.

Somebody told me about a society where the legal defaults are all reversed. I forget where, but it sounded fascinating.
i.e. yopu fall down a hole in the pavement, the legal position is “why the f didn’t you have the sense to walk around it?” I suspect that stance probably has implications, but it feels attractive.

I mean, you could imagine there would be certain people who could not take steps to avoid, but the onus is on them to prove it.

Pretty cool. It definitely feels good when you capture something and comes out fine.

they were great fun, especially the old reenactments, just to see that pull of gunpowder as the musket fires. It’ll give you warm fuzzy memories of the Revolution, no?
