Caretakers Shack, plus tree
I have a thing for looking at the parts of things that make the other things work. When I’m shooting in cemeteries, for example, I always look around for the caretaker’s shack. And this shack rewarded my search by including a little tree Thanks, shack!

From the outside
Sometimes to shoot inside a cemetery, you have to go outside the walls. This was one of those times. I made quite a few images of the draped cross from the inside of the cemetery, but this is the one that I liked the best.

Succubus
Eighteen years ago I wrote a poem called “Incubus.”
And now, here’s the other side of the situation.

Niño Tomás
A tiny hand-made concrete marker where niño Tomás lies. And behind him, someone else’s wood cross has fallen to the ground.

Their predictable fate
This was my third attempt to get this shot. The first time the clouds were badly exposed (guess whose fault that was?!) and I couldn’t get that adequately resolved Photoshop/Silver Efex. The second time I just wasn’t feeling it and the results that time were worse, and not better.
So, on this trip, we pulled off the road just so I could try again. Third time, charms, and all that.
As always, there is something that seems discouraging about the Famous Artists display at the cemetery.
