St. Joachim Catholic Cemetery

Visited the St. Joachim Catholic Cemetery in town during lunch… it may sound odd but I really enjoyed this photo walk. I only hit about half the cemetery but I really like the TTV stuff for this.

I know some people think visiting cemeteries for the purpose of a photo shoot is crass and wrong. I don’t. The way I see it, and taking into account some of the tombstones I saw, I’m paying more attention and respect than has been paid since who knows when. I also find it keeps me grounded, makes me think, question my mortality and what I’ve done and where I’m going…

Kodak Brownie Hawkeye

The third and final (for now) TLR camera arrived from ebay yesterday! Introducing my Kodak Brownie Hawkeye…

The last shot…

Well tragedy has struck… dropped my camera at lunch, it didn’t like the concrete sidewalk too much. Dunno how much or how long (they estimate 4-6 weeks) it’ll take to fix so I’m camera-less for awhile… looks like it’s gonna be old photo uploads for awhile. Lesson? NEVER EVER use your camera without the strap on! And if you are, crouch or sit on the ground, preferably away from a concrete or otherwise hard surface…

This was the last photo she took… /sigh.

See you in a while.

UPDATE: took a snap of the damage with my cell phone…
