I have peen photographing re-enactment events withing Southern California for the last several years. the results are found in the Civil War Galleries within this website.

Now a new venture -- multimedia. We begin with a short showcase of YOU, well some of you. These are photographs span the years from 2003 to 2009. I plan to create two or three more slideshows; the next being battles, the glory or heroism and the pain of loss.

The music is a Waltz Quadrille from the album Oméigwessi Reel Métis - A Tribute to Walter Flett and Alyssa Delbaere-Sawchuk on lead fiddle. If you would like the embedding code to place on another site, send me an email.

The Battle of the Old Woman’s Gun Reenactment has become recent history as well as now belonging to the ages of old California’s legacy! The event on October 10th, this last Saturday of the Reenactment of the “Battle of Dominguez Ranch” aka “Battle of the Old Woman’s Gun” has been successfully launched! It has taken its proper place in California and LA Culture, hopefully for a long time!

The Fort MacArthur Timeline event is one of the best re-enactment in Southern California. It covers the era of the Roman Legions to Desert Storm of the 20th century. This year there were over 70 groups, with over 800 participants, representing almost every part of history.

A change of pace as we go to the grand-daddy of Ren Faires here in Southern California. Vibrant colors and outlandish characters are just a few of the pleasures to be found. Hope you enjoy the photos and stay tuned for more of the same next month.

The Civil War battles and living history at Prado Park is one of my favorite large event spectacles. Once again the Southern California Civil War Association has put together a winner.
