Living History (1)
Posted by MARIANA (Waterloo, Canada) on 19 May 2009 in Documentary & Street and Portfolio.
The lifestyle of the Mennonites can be seen in the Joseph Schneider House in Kitchener, one of the oldest homesteads in Ontario. This site is described as a "living history" experience where guides in traditional costumes act as inhabitants of the home, offering their visitors biscuits that have been baked in the old German manner and re-enact life as it was lived in the 19th Century.

I can see you making this photo with emulsion on glass, and it being 100 years ago. The timelessness of this photo is amazing. A great post showing your range from color to sepia tone. Well done.

Hey... wow! 1: The light is fantastic in this! 2: It's a great portrait. 3: The way you processed this looks like you took it then. Wonderful shot. The expression on the woman's face really seems natural to the shot.

Even with the old world setting and dress as well as the toning, where it might feel as if long ago, it has a life and immediate presence especially in the woman’s expression and posture. I like the aliveness and the feeling of being in that room.
