Bannack, MT – Living History Tribute 1:Â Meet the townsfolk
I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph the second annual Bannack Living History Weekend, near Dillon, Montana. It was a blast! Many people went to a lot of work to make it special and bring in many artifacts and people to demonstrate the authentic way of life for Bannack back when the gold rush was on! This is the first of five blog posts over the next few weeks to pay tribute to this Living History event. I hope you enjoy what I captured in this first of five tributes…”Meet the Townsfolk…” The Boss, Doc, Tailor, Trapper, Spinner, Photographer.
Really great to see this side of Bannack! the living side. these shots are perfect, you are a master of low light photography, among other categories!
Thanks, Tim! It was so fun to see Bannack in a historical realistic way. I even went to church there, and that was an experience!
Okay, Caryn! What did it take to get such AMAZING models there in Bannack! Haha! Those are great photos and really bring Bannack to life! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Dustin! I wish we could have these models in place when I take the Comm 300 bus to Bannack on October 24. I need to get Danny, Tyler and Zack to grow some wicked beards quick! Thanks for stopping by and for commenting. 🙂
Wow these are so incredible! The models really make me feel like the town is still alive! You captured the feeling of the people and the town so well. Absolutely love the creative angles and gorgeous lighting! STUNNING photos! Can’t wait to see more! My favorite is number 3!
Wow, it is so great to hear from you! And thanks for telling me which is your favorite. That is nice to know! The guys are having fun posting them on the Bannack Association Facebook page, and that looks like it was a favorite there too. I will probably post more next week. Fun times at Bannack. I wish I could get some of them to come back and model for us on Oct. 24. I am trying to convince them to come back then! Wouldn’t that be fun?
