Yesterday was a cold, icy, wet day ... but I felt the need to get outside and shoot. Where better to shoot on a dreary day than a cemetery? Guess I was feeling a little ghoulish. :-)
This one had me scratching my head ... guess no one could remember Grandma's name?
Think this guy was a fan?
The eternal optimist ...
And just so you don't think I'm completely dreich ...
Your blog title lured me in....I thought you were talking about guns lol! Great pics....I can feel the icy day coming through your shots.
Photography is my alternative to actually shooting people ... good thing, huh? LOL!
Thanks, Tony! It's something I've been experimenting with lately ... got a copy of Nik Silver Efex Pro and haven't been able to stop playing with it!
Glenda - Those are about the most clear photos of tombstones I've seen. There is a genealogy group called, "Find a Grave." They go out and take pictures of tombstones in their areas, for people that live across the country.
Glenda: That first one is very confusing on several accounts..but looks in such good shape for being so old. Very interesting pics!
Myrl, I've been meaning to take photos at this cemetery for some time ... it's just a mile from my home. I guess I was just waiting for the right weather! :-)
Jane, thanks for commenting!
Glenda, your post reminded me of one of the places I leaned to photograph in black and white. It was a small cemetery where I could wander in silence and capture those tombstone portraits. The ones you have here are exceptional. Thank you!
Thanks, Emily! I wish this was one of those quiet, lonely cemeteries ... but it's located at a fairly busy intersection so it's not really quiet. Oh, well ... :-)
