I wrote about Jim Naughten and his ongoing series, titled Re-Enactors, three years ago. In an almost painterly fashion, he photographs people who “step out of their routine daily lives and transform into historical characters from the First and Second World Wars, often with such vigor and obsessive attention to detail that it’s hard to imagine them in contemporary settings.” I thought this work was very appropriate for today… lest we forget.

   Exquisitely done. They look like the real deal, and very British–except for the guy in the German helmet.

   well, i suppose every reenactment needs someone to pretend battle against ; )
