I've been to countless living history & re-enactment events over the last years and I've taken pictures there with my 1930s box camera.
Here's a thread with a few of those pictures, mostly taken by me, except the ones I'm in, obviously ;)

GI's about to take a (plywood) turret.

This is how I live at such events, no modern bed hidden in the tent, sleeping on straw.
Somewhere in Holland.

Tovarish!
Sometimes we even recreated an entire field hospital.
I sit next to the priest.
So just to be sure, none of the pictures in this thread are genuinely old, this is all recreated/re-enacted history, no time travel involved.
