the cemeteries of Roslyn, wa

the three images below of from the memorial to the fire jumpers who died fighting the thirty mile fire

an afternoon stroll through roslyn then parked the car in the cemetery section of the town. it was it's own neighborhood rather then something which felt confined to a parks boundaries or a churchyards walls. it was sprawling and as in your typical neighborhood there were defined spaces which sectioned off those of an affiliation or persuasion with wrought iron or wood. there was a whole space devoted to the fire fighters who died in the thirty mile fire back in 2001.

ok so the shot above i initially thought was a multiple exposure, it is not.

there is however some weird mist in the lower right corner- and something very odd going on just above the centre grave of which neither i can explain , and as i have alot of negatives that have never been printed it has gone unnoticed til now.

tottenham, north london cemetery

north london, tottenham to be precise. arrive by train to bruce grove , from liverpool st station. walk towards the castle (bruce.) behind the castle grounds lies this cemetery. when i moved here my slr which was a hand me down from my great grandfather (used since the tender age of 15) and had started to allow light to escape inwards towards my films. so for these images it worked! the swirls of light leaks and ghostly exposures offers the perfect texture and sensation to the images. however it wasn't so great for trying to get work done for any publications or profit and the effects were uncontrollable and hit or miss. sometimes it added to the visual and others it took away. it can be seen increasing throughout prolonged use until eventually the camera hit the deck in Amsterdam and the light leak was no longer an added effect but more the ever present state of any photo i took.
