A week and a half ago (Weekend of the 20th may 2017) I went to a Living History event at the Bunker Museum in IJmuiden (NL) also known as "Widerstandsnest 2000". The various living history groups, Panzer Grenadiers, Dutch and French resistance, Americans, British SAS were spread out over the terrain and there were raids and probes towards the other encampments all day and evening.
I took the opportunity to snap a few photos with my Graflex Speed Graphic, Leica I and Leica M-E.
I'll share some of the portraits I took with the Leica M-E and Xenon 50mm f/1.5 here:
1. Machine gunner's assistant
2. Machine gunner
3. Medic
4. French Resistance Fighter
5. French Resistance Fighter x2
6. Maquisard x3
7. Our Looie
8. Second in Command
9. Two-fer portrait
10. Out on a night raid.
It was a fun weekend, except that we couldn't put our tents up due to some caterpillar infestation. The Museum granted us access to some of the bunkers to stay in for the weekend. So we slept next to the preserved wreck of a Zeehund 2-man u-boat
Looking forward to going again next year....though preferably without the caterpillars.
