Cemeteries



The day was overcast and threatening rain, but I really wanted to do some pictures. A local cemetery popped into my mind, and I knew I was on the right track. I didn't know what I would find there, but I had to give it a try. The cemetery was bordered by an on-ramp to a major highway (big signs and all), a strip mall, and a Wendy's. While I couldn't do much in the way of panoramic shots, there were a number of interesting subjects to photograph. Since then I have sought out cemeteries for their stonework, often involving religious themes, and natural elements. Old trees and weathered headstones are perfect ingredients for dark, moody photographs.
