Civil War Selfie by hjbenson

Civil War Selfie

The photo in the background is my ancestor who served during The American Civil War. If you look he is wearing his medal from the conflict. I am holding a Civil War pistol from Gail's ancestor.
My get-pushed challenge from OBM Creations was "my suggestion would be for a black and white self-portrait.
Belinda @obmcreations since you suggested a black & white selfie, I immediately thought of Civil War photography and everything came into place. Thanks for a great get-pushed challenge

Great shot, Harry. You look like a movie star in an old shoot-em-up movie. You look tougher than your ancestor. Fav
