real?
Well Heavy Kev,
He looked real. I mean, I suppose he could have been a mirage, cause it was hot that day.
He did write the article, so I am going with "yes", he was real.
He looked something like THIS.

Something about him
Burns has served as chief cinematographer on many of his documentaries, thus playing a crucial role in shaping the overall looks of the works. A key visual trait is the photographing of live-action material (such as old houses, or battlefield locations) during the low sunlight of dawn or dusk. As a result, much of the original filmed material in a typical Ken Burns documentary contains a distinctive orange ethereal coloring.
