Top Ten

I was invited by a director of photography to submit my work to go into a 365 Calendar. The only requirement is that it be in the Bay County Area.

Narrowing my work down to the top 10 was an interesting challenge. I’m my own worst critic and as I went through some older stuff I found I did not like much of it. However I also found some really good stuff to.

It is a testament to what I wanted my daily challenge and this blog to be – a way of improving my skill.

So here is my Top Ten from Bay County

Flight

A Day At The Beach

Walk A Mile

Bright Eyes

And His Wife

His Wife

 

Rest Mother Rest In Quiet Sleep, While friends in sorry o’er thee weep

She Was The Sunshine Of Our Home

Father

Mother

Come Ye Blessed

Our Father

What I find endlessly fascinating is that when it’s all said and done we have a few words carved into marble, cast into concrete or set in stone. Each character comes at a price and there is a limit. So emotion and practicality collides. As a result we have the Name and date or year of birth and death. Sometimes a poem but more often what they meant to us.

Men often have just their name while their female partners have “His Wife” attached as though she has no value as her own person. This cemetery that is across from a Lutheran and Baptist church has more matching sets with “Husband” and “Wife” stones than I have seen in any others in this area.
