WELCOME! As mentioned earlier, this blog was created as part of a class project. The class, "Crafting the Vision", combines original photography and writing. I had always enjoy writing (especially poems) and taking pictures...but I had never put them together. Now I realize that I do enjoy crafting MY vision.
Some of the poems are serious, others are funny, some are in Spanish, some in Latin, and some make no sense at all. So, if you found this blog, you are either in the class, bored to death, or I begged you to check it out. Regardless of how you got here, your input is welcome.

Gracias por la visita!

Woodland Cemetery



These were taken at Elmira's famous Woodland Cemetery...where Mark Twain remains (literally). It may sound morbid to some but I find cemeteries fascinating. The history of so many lives simply stated on a tombstone: when were they born, when did they die. Nothing more, nothing less. So I guess that it really does not matter what we do, we all end in the same place...except for me because I want a "coral reef" burial.

But perhaps that sentiment is better expressed in the following pic.
Both pics where modified with photoshop to decrease their brightness since they were taken around 3pm (yes, the Christian significance did not escape me) and there were many shadows casted.
