" kinda like finding a picture of your daughter on the cover of an adult magazine".  Never looked at it like that but he has a point.  I would hate to stumble across a picture of myself on the internet in a topic "What is wrong with this picture".  Would be even worse if I truly believed I was period correct and was mistaken or misinformed.  Not against this topic just maybe should not use real pictures of people without their consent.  A lot of good points brought up here, we should use them to find a way to continue without creating a liability.

Your correct....get in costume and let's see how you look.

i can't criticize much, my period dress is at this time, a pair of plain cloth brown pants, a flanel shirt, a home made shooting bag made from a carpet baggers cloth, a hand knotted leather laced strap for the bag.

i always shot from a flask since i started with revolvers, so i am familiar with that, and it is in the bag, so no horn.

I do have the card woven strap i won in the last give away, i could use as a belt, since i don't use a horn to hang from it. and the strap is too nice to hang my bag from it...

So i look at the pictures and read your more experienced comments, to learn what i CAN use to improve my appearance, (other than losing weight)

My persona??
I came from the future, some poor soul saw me appear, died from a heart attack, i took his gun and bag, he was a lot skinnier & shorter than me, so nothing of his fit....

If you are going to continue doing this, with the person's consent, you might want to just do one person at a time.  You also might want to have the person that you are working on let you know what era he would like to portray.  However the person might be like me, not really know what I'm supposed to look like.  Just want to look acceptable at a Rondy or other function.

I vote yes to continue, but have to agree with everyone about the liability...

I will volunteer my picture as soon as i kin get a basic outfit together and go from there.. As others have said I am still learning and do find this thread educational.

[Dryball]

Looking forward to your photo JJ.

I will also contribute a vote to Use members photos ; or even documented drawings or paintings, if they wish, but would also like to add don't blow them out of the water with remarks about using modern reproduction firearms of any kind.
I have been extremely lucky in being able build my own, close to, 100% correct firearm for my persona in 1820
Please add who you are and the time period. Not all of us are rocky mountain fur trappers
My persona has a long and storied past that originated in Holland in 1765 and is now in North Mississippi in 1820 and is a tired old man of 55 now.

  I say continue.
  As for the pics, Ya dont want none of me on here. As ugly as I is , ya would have members droppin out from disgust or with some even fear. Theres a few pics of me around but the best one is one the sister site--muzzleloading life--in giveaways. Besides, I have a hard time trying to figure out how to put pics on here.
