Scabbard tie by Linda Sparks

Scabbard tie by

This fella labored to create his scabbard by hand, doing all the sewing himself. His wife said he did a better job than she could have.

This was taken in Tombstone, AZ during Wyatt Earp Days. Men and women young and old dressed to the times, then entered authenticity contests, put on bang up skits and socialized.

Taken with a Panazonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 superzoom in natural light.

About Linda Sparks

After being widowed, I needed to find something new to occupy my mind. I chose photography. That turned into an obsession, compounded by my love of the artistic license provided by Photoshop and the many other artful programs that help us explore all the facets of turning a photo into art.

  • Thanks. There were so many wonderful subjects in Tombstone, one literally had only to point and shoot. Glad you liked all 3 shots.
