Jedediah Smith - Mounted Print and Plaque

8x12" print with 5x5" plaque with quote.

‎"It is a long time since I left home & many times I have been ready, to bring my business to a close & endeavor to come home; but have been hindered hitherto....

However I will endeavor, by the assistance of Divine Providence, to come home as soon as possible... but whether I shall ever be allowed the privilege, God only knows, I feel the need of the watch & care of a Christian Church. You may well suppose that our Society is of the roughest kind. Men of good morals seldom enter into business of this kind - I hope you will remember me before the Throne of Grace...." – Jedediah Smith -

A new direction leading west!

So, for those of you who have been following this project it has come back to life due to a photo shoot falling into my lap. With a shoot date just around the corner Oct 24th I'm pretty excited about this. Unfortunately, Tyndale as been shelved until a later date. However, we hope to use our new subject as a catalyst for acquiring funding for the Tyndale images.

Jedediah Strong Smith is our new subject. Jedediah will be modeled by a good friend of mine, Tom Candler. This past month I've been working with Justin Dwyer aligning all the details for our shoot next Monday. Justin has been an unbelievable asset in making this project come to be. Having connections with a local park district, access to countless period props, and knowledge in photography, He's been a tremendous blessing it making this happen.

Here are a couple of pre-production images to give you an idea of the direction we're going with this.
