This is an abandoned cemetary deep in the woods down an abandoned logging road. I happened on this while looking for old kaoline mines for fossils. I just happened to stop to take a leak and barely caught an upraised hand in the distance an
d just a hint of a wrought iron fence. This has the grave of Hayden Hughes consort. The writing on the consorts grave stoicly proclaimes that "here lie the remains" and the word consort is plainly visible. What is unusual is that the more ornate grave has a mariners them and religious symbols such as a cross are noticeably absent. The wrought iren posts have somewhat of a cross but given the lack of markings on the tombstones I'm thinking that this was not purposely ordered but rather what was readily available at the time. This is a very peculiar place and it has been calling me for some time to come capture the imagery of this place.

pinhole zero69. Istanbul. Orhan Pamuk, in his spellbinding memoir, ISTANBUL, writes of the Western fascination with a select set of exotic images of Istanbul: the minarets, the harem, and the cemetaries among them. I read this with rueful awareness of my inability to be anything other than a Western visitor after spending days reenacting this gaze, taking pictures of cemetaries as if I were the first to imagine they might be a conduit to some fundamental and mysterious otherness.

Calamity Jane and Buffalo Bill were buried side by side in this cemetary. I did not take pictures of their gravesites, however, as they were coated in tourists of the elderly set.
A little cemetary near Louisberg, Nova Scotia. We stopped for a break after deciding against seeing the nearby fort.
I took this picture a few years ago as an assignment for a photography class. This picture is worth more than 1000 words.
