Cemetery Man
I drove out to Martinez last night to take a few self portraits before the mood of this strong and deep depression and it's inspiration left me. This was the best shot that I came up with. Strange but lately my viewership on Flickr has really dropped off. The trend I see is that female photographers have much stronger followings than male photographers do. Women love women photographers and men especially love women photographers.
Taking photographs in this cemetery is always a tenuous experience because to do so one clearly has to trespass. The cemetery is locked and there is no shortage of "Keep Out / No Trespassing" signs. Gaining admittance is pretty simple though as there is a hole in the fence not 10 feet from the road. From most positions inside the grounds you can stay out of site from the street outside. Still, I can't help but have a feeling of dread. A good feeling to have in a cemetery actually...
