Elmwood Cemetery, Norfolk, VA - 8x10 camera - x-ray film

Very nice - Xray film is treating you well.

[Westerman]

Thanks Randy. I'm glad x-ray film is cheap, because I went through lots of sheets to get my negatives to turn out properly exposed and not badly scratched. I posted my quest on the x-ray film thread.

My Grandmother's grave. She passed away long before I was born. Note the deer in the background, it was a peaceful place that day last Fall.

Coffin boxes in Seattle. Shot with a Speed Graphic.

Sure would like to have the image larger instead of a thumbnail. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Ray

Hi Ray,

Those boxes are concrete vaults which came into common use in the 30's or 40's. The coffin is placed in the vault so after the passage of time the ground above the coffin won't collapse. This is why old tombstones tend to list out of plumb.

With Halloween coming, it seemed a good time to post two graveyard images. Both are from the First Congregational Church of Chester (NJ). (I posted interiors and some information about the church in the "Churches" image thread.)

Both images are scans from HP5+ negatives developed in Pyrocat, Rodenstock 150 and Schneider 210 lenses; I will make "wet" 11x15 prints in my darkroom later.

I had an enjoyable HABS job in Fort Kent, ME the week before last, and brought the Korona 8x10 along with me in case I ran across something enjoyable. I had been up that way back in 2010, and remembered this St. Louis Cemetery, with its terrific view over the St. John River, seat of Acadian culture in Maine. In this view with some lovely morning light, Fort Kent is on the left, and Claire, NB is on the right.
