Arch
I bet you’re sorry you didn’t get to see me frame up this shot! I really wanted to place the tall monument in the back between the arches of the foreground marker. I had to raise up on tiptoes, lean in over another marker, try to miss sun flares, and tilt to the left. It’s a little bit of a miracle that I didn’t injure myself.

Excellent composition is never an accident. And based on that description of your attempts to get the shot, you’re right: it’d have been a treat to watch.

A treat, indeed!
But you make a valid point about good composition not being an accident.

Great photo! I appreciate your effort. the names on the stone up front are different, hmmm.

And the name on the right looks like it says “his wife” under it; it’s still not common for women to NOT change their last names when they get married. A mystery, maybe.

Thanks, but I don’t think I’ve earned it. After all, I don’t even OWN a respirator!

A couple of years ago, a new friend went with me to shoot; she was impressed that I could not only squat, but GET BACK UP again. Photography keeps you bendy!
