Old is new again - Eli Lo

 

In this project, I attempted to turn this cannon in downtown Concord into a Civil War-style wet plate. Although the cannon was dated to be used during WW1, I saw that it was fitting for this assignment. I wanted a Civil War-era man posing in front of the cannon to give the sense that he had shot this cannon before it was placed there as a memorial. 

For this, I photographed the cannon and took a photo from the Library of Congress of a man standing next to a larger cannon.
