However, the focus of this project is somewhat different. I believe that we come to know a city through the people who live there, so my goal is to depict the city of Charlottesville through its inhabitants. I intend to make portraits of as many Charlottesvillians as possible and share them, along with a little bit about each person, on this photoblog.
Feel free to contact me at cville.people@gmail.com if you would like to be part of the project or know someone who would.
You can see more of my photos on my other blog The Things I've Seen and on my Flickr stream. You can also follow me on Instagram (K_A_Sprouse) or Twitter (@K_A_Sprouse).

Tim, the civilian
One of the more interesting historical figures portrayed during the recent Living History even at Lee Park was Dr. Magruder, whose house could be seen from the park; this doctor had opened the first hospital after the Civil War and was one of the founders of a public hospital that is still open today. The reenactor told me that he normally portrays military characters and that portraying a civilian was different for him but that this particular civilian had been such an exceptional man that he was happy to share his story with others. I have no idea what the good doctor looked like, but I love the character of the reenactor’s face and his expression.
