I like these - cemeteries are fascinating places. Good places to shut up and think.

David,

 

An excellent series with a sense of loneliness from the lack of maintenance. Great composition, lovely tones and sharpness.

Like Michael, I too find cemeteries fascinating and these photographs are very interesting, David, particularly #3 which illustrates perfectly their inevitable abandonment and decline.

 

The name Parnell on a stone in the last one reminded me of the "Hades' chapter from James Joyce's 'Ulysses' in which the central character Bloom, attending a funeral in Dublin's Glasnevin Cemetery, looks at the gravestones of people who once walked the streets of Dublin, including that of the great Irish national leader Charles Stewart Parnell, and reflects on an inscription:

 

"As you are now so once were we".

David,

 

a fine series and a perfect focus. The viewer is drawn into the cemetery and its atmosphere. The toning is convincing.

A very beautiful series.

I love the choice for B/W as well as the use of the wide open aperture to put accents.

 

Best,

All very nice, but No2 and No3 stand out for me :-)
