Mumler's spirit photography featuring Mark Osterman

mooseontheloose · Feb 6, 2022

Latest video from Vox's "The Darkroom" about trying to recreate Mumler's famous portrait of Mary Todd Lincoln with the ghost of Abraham behind her. Found this quite interesting as I did a lot of research as a university student on a local Winnipeg doctor who did the same thing around the same time (he was not as famous/notorious of course).

Mark Osterman is awesome and inspiring.

If you follow him you are liable to pick up a couple projects yourself.

hmmm, if nobody can reproduce, maybe they are spirits!!!!

I thought it was interesting as well! I really like the Darkroom series from Vox, they have some pretty interesting videos.

Well it seems that my other favourite Youtuber did a video on the same subject (quite coincidentally). It's a different take but has a nice historical photography focus as well, albeit with a different take to the Vox video.
