Grave Yard #2

Grave Yard

I suppose it's a morbid hobby but there's a lot to learn by wandering around in an old graveyard. Today while my wife was shopping, I found an old and seemingly almost forgotten cemetery in Rootstown Ohio.

I was struck by how many of the men buried there were veterans of the American Revolution and the War of 1812. There were many stones to study, but one in particular stood out to me.    

The grave stone read, "In Memory of Israel Coe, who died Sept 21th AD 1821 aged 65 years. Also Artemisia his wife who died May 19th 1812 aged 53 years." To read about Israel and his life click here.

These pictures are a little more of an experiment compared to my last ones. 

Black and white photography has always been my favorite format but one I haven't done in awhile.

This second picture is in color just very undersaturated. I wanted to play around with this idea working more with the contrast of the blacks and pale blues. This pretty much what the scene looked like in real life, it was very early in the morning when I took this picture.
