this is one of the numerous series of shots i've done in a cemetery near my old house. i have always been drawn to this place, seeing those old sculptures and hommages, following from a distance all the happenings and knowing my mother is buried there.

to me, cemeteries in general aren't only an aesthetics choice for photography, but also a very personal one. as repetitive as it sounds, i do think the rituals it serves to are very enriching, so filled with the history of feeling that they are.

death is unavoidable; feeling from the death of others is a part of it.



please full view: it was meant to be seen on its original size!

What is even more beautiful than the photograph is your lovely insightful description. Simply wonderful :)

Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing it subjectively. That there is no such thing as death and life is just a dream. Here's Tom with the weather.

no, unfortunately not, i only had my digital back when i shot those. i'm sure they'd look fantastic on film... i'm waitin for an opportunity to go there back again, and i'll make sure to bring my film camera.

thanks so much for your appreciation!
