Better late than never

Normally, I write my blog entry first thing in the morning. Today, I had a photo session that was set up for a couple of weeks. A photographer friend recently lost a dear friend and wanted a way to deal with the loss. We all discussed a “grief” photo session. We met at a cemetery that has some very old graves and some elaborate mausoleums and crypts. The weather even somewhat cooperated. It was overcast and a bit cool but it provided good soft light.

As you may have learned if you’ve followed my blog for a while, I’m not typically one that renders photographs to reality and will expose and process my images to fit a particular mood or concept.

While many may find the style I chose to be dark and depressing I believe they are more than that. While they are dark they express the sense of loss most of us feel at the death of a friend, family member, or loved one. This is something I intend to make a longer-term project. It’s always better late than never.
