Marissa wanted to go to Woodmere cemetery in Detroit to take some digital pinhole photography for her digital class, and of course, I jumped at the chance to accompany her, since I've never been to Woodmere cemetery (which is not in the nicest of areas in the city...)
I was experimenting some more with shooting through a piece of red stained glass. It kind of abstracts the image, so I shot clear ones to couple with the abstract ones. These have not been edited in my computer at all except to resize them
this cemetery has the most interesting tomb stones. This was a family stone with two little personal stones at its base.
I thought it was so cute that this little bird was perched on top of that stone- like an Edward Gorey drawing brought to life
The sun was shining through the back of the mausoleums illuminating the stained glass quite beautifully
I'm chalking this up to matrixing, but it kiiiind of looks like a woman standing at that window (Marissa and I investigated this, and the glass was frosted, not fogged over (we tried writing in it))
I looked in the window and there seemed to be no one actually in here, but it is a "love shrine" and I really liked the rainbow stones the lettering is done with
sad vandalism- someone has broken the glass out of these windows
this is the front of the mausoleum Marissa was looking into- the glass on the door window was broken too. A star in the pattern of the window is casting that star onto the floor, which I thought was very interesting (especially since it was a Star of David, but showed up as a 5 point star)
gargoyles on a mausoleum
the window inside that mausoleum- as far as I could tell there was no one actually inside this one- there was what looked like a stone fireplace or alter with elaborate carvings and the walls were bare
i thought this was an interesting shape
and the inside...
a tree fell over, breaking a few tombstones
veeeeery interesting cemetery- I recommend checking it out if you're in the Detroit area. (don't go alone though- nooooot in a nice area!)
