Calvary Cemetery, Queens, N.Y - Olympus C3100Z - Those eyes! I believe her name to be Antonia or Antoinette and she haunts me, in a good way. She poses just the cutest, sweetest, image. But it saddens me that so young a passing was her fate.

Laurel Grove Cemetery, Port Jervis, NY - Canon EOS 5D Mark II - As I processed this Chase family grave site capture, I kept flashing back to when man first walked on the moon. My friends and I would look up from Billy’s front stoop and wonder what it would be like to be there. Then Barbara G. from across the street would come out with her boyfriend, and we would wonder what that would be like.

Old North End Burying Ground, Ipswich, MA - Nikon D300 - leaning stones talk to me. They sometimes tell a life story. Richard is leaning toward Mary, but Mary is already married. Hmmm.
Calvary Cemetery, Queens, New York - Nikon D300 - love those rare finds. I wonder if they buried the doll with the young lady. The two must have been inseparable.
St. Joseph's Cemetery, Pittston, Pennsylvania - Nikon D300 - I hated to be found. I felt I let myself down. And as an adult, I play hide and seek with myself. It’s called keeping it all in.
