Description
This was in another house. All these houses here is around 1850's some a little older and other younger at this Acadian Village.
Some may like to know where the word Cajun comes from.
I know when I was growing up; you did not call anyone cajun. That was fighting words. It like calling smeone a nigger. I did see in a 1960 National Gerography[lol miss spelled sorry] magazine about the Acadian people and it too say do not call them cajuns. Oh forgot the month but it was in the 1960 t0 1962 magizine
Now from 1960 to today things changed for the Acadian people love the name . Go figure. Would say something but I might get into touble like Ron Guidry did when ask about the cajun food. All he say "they will eat anything" LOL Guidry was a major legue baseball player in the 1980's i think that was the time fram and it was a big thing in the news around here . He was put down and he had to say he was sorry. For what ? All he did was tell the truth. LOL
Thanks for looking and comments and votes
p.s. what do this image have to do with Rod Guidry? Nothing. I just do not know much about this old thing that makes cloth. ALL I KNOW, IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF WORK.

wowwwww, thank you my friend for this travel for the last time, it's very good and intresting... I like very much your serie!!! well done.. big kiss and great a good weekend ;)
Great shot! You don't really make clothes with a weaving loom, you make the fabric. You weave the fabric by crossing the threads. I used to have one, a bit more modern though. No, I'm not old but people still use them for craft, it's an art. And yes, it takes long, mostly to mount the thread on it and set it in a way to make patterns on the fabric.
In Portuguese it is called a 'tear' and I have some linen wooven towels at home made with one of these wonder machines. I love your capture. It has perfect lighting and shows the 'tear' exactly as it is ! BRAVOOOOO Jock !!!
Xcellent last work Jocko ... Antonio.
Ilove seeing this loom! It is still a complicated contraption to me.lol! Wonderful History and photo Jock! :)
styles change so often. when I was in my 20's having a 4 door car was not considered hip but look at the gang bangers now. they are eating up the late model 4 door vickies and the chevy boats out of water 4 doors. now low riders are out and high riders are in, excellent capture
Would love to have one of these Looms! Weaving anything your little heart could desire! Absolutely beautiful capture of this historical item!!!
Very cool bit of history... A lot of work indeed!
I love the shot and the history here!Excellent!!**V

Excellent shot of this antique!!!!!
excelllent image and i love humor of the story!
EXCELLENT shot
We live in a world of instant gratification where everything is ready made for us Right Now. We have no clue about how it was to have to make everything we had. . . . Aint it Great?! lol! Good shot, Jock!
What a wonderful loom!
Nice loom Jock. It was around the 1850's we were connecting looms to steam engines in the cotton mills of England!!
Thanks for your photos 1850's..this is a great series! Excellent shot :)
Great photo - not easy to capture detail of the machine without blowing out the window light - well done :)
What a neat slice of history. I love travellin' in Louisiana and think the Acadian folks are great. Love that Cajun food especially if it's red beans and rice with some fresh caught fish.
Excellent. I can clearly hear the hollow footsteps and smell the place. These pictures speak a universal language between nations.
Top lighting and subject matter, love the old wood textures, they look soooo kool ! great capture Jocko ~Cheers~ :o)
Excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That looks like a lotta work alright! Thanks for the info too. I didn't know cajun used to be considered a racial slur. Interesting! I wonder if the ancestors are turning in their graves. V (:
It has to do with "Evangeline". That is where I learned about the Accadians. LaFitte was not an Accadian. (perhaps I am being too assertive)
Excellent photo of great atmosphere my friend.....!!! Beautiful effects of lights & shades......!!!!
Fantastic capture of this old way of manufacturing! Who would be able to use it nowadays!? Wonderful work! :)
this is a first class composition .. outstanding :) excellent
