I have a confession to make... not only is my job cooler than yours, but it's way nerdier. See, the art and fashion part is all a cover-up for the research part. Sigh. The point of the pie, the cheesiest chip. You find yourself looking for and really needing strange specific little bits. Sometimes I can badger friends and strangers (what bands did you listen to in high school? what do you wear on high holy days?). Sometimes, I'm Googling and flipping through every book in desperation (a 1930s Hungarian postal worker? French turn-of-the-century chambermaids?). It's fantastic, and I could do it forever.
I'm getting things together to work on my first film project (!) and I keep finding these great photos. The project is partially set in the Civil War, and I'm finding the research to be well-documented and plentiful (sadly, wars lead to good research). How often do you see snapshots of Lincoln?
