Every now and then I like to “step outside” my boundary of usual subject matter and do something really different. This is one of those images. Captured outside the town of Central City, Colorado, I happened by this scene by luck, along with the other 2 cemeteries close by it. Long closed, these are the real deal “wild west’ cemeteries, long forgotten, long not seen. Looking like a scene out of the movie “Pale Rider”.....I had to photograph it. The ruts in the ground were still visible from where the old wagons used to carry the bodies up from the town. Quite an amazing place…. / Thoughts welcomed! —-John —-—-—-—-—-—-— / More of my work can be seen on my website at http://jdebordphoto.com / All artwork is © John De Bord, All Rights Reserved.

Captured at a old Pioneer Cemetery outside of Central City, Colorado…..lemme tell ya, this place is the REAL: deal, you expect to see Clint Eastwood outta the movie Pale Rider come through any second. Quite spooky and also, it is an area that just kinda puts ya in a time warp….. Thoughts welcomed!

This is the 3rd shot from today’s series of photos from the local grave yard.. I had heard recently that grave yards make a great subject for IR photography, and I personally think I have to agree as I believe that this is my best IR shot so far.. / The cross that you can see behind the headstone in the middle of the shot is the cross that I used as the subject for my So Dark The Con Of Man shot.. / Anyway let me know what you all think and i hope you like it all as much as i do.. Thanks for looking! Uploaded 31/01/2008

Another shot from my cemetery series. This shot really caught my eye, man lays asleep waiting for the resurrection and nature lays dormant waiting for that breath of new life come spring. The orange of the leaves is a promise and a sign of hope that this is not the end of life but only the beginning. / / More in this cemetery series: / / / / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / / /

This is an infra-red edit of the single most humorous thing I have ever seen in a graveyard. I was Sacramento’s Old City Cemetery where countless historic figures are interred when I turned around and saw this sight. I could tell you it was a mother crow feeding a very large youngster; the young are easily as big as the parents while they are being fed outside of the nest. I could tell you that it was “bird season” for crows and this was some sort of bonding ritual between an old couple that had been together for years. Or I could tell you that it was about 10000 degrees in the graveyard when I took this shot and the birds were panting like crazy, especially the ones appropriately dressed (or “feathered”? “Downed”???) in black. But I’d rather say the thought that came to mind as soon as this painfully obvious shot was noticed: You REALLY know you’re dead when you look up to see two crows on a tombstone with your name on it, singing in harmony. That should confirm it nicely. THIS PIECE IS FEATURED IN: Amazing Graves. Thank you AG Group for remembering my little shot and honouring it once it returned! Ya’ll rock! The Necessary Evility / Nikon D80 / Nikkor 70-300mm lens / Exposure: 1/160 / F/stop: 5.6 / ISO: 400 (but I can’t imagine why) / Focal length: 300mm / Metering mode: Pattern / Creative setting: Vivid and actually important since that setting increases sharpness before editing to monochrome / no tripod (Maybe that explains the shutter speed and ISO) / hella hot outside (Perhaps 100 degrees F.) / No crows were not bothered in this shot / No, I’m not really sure what they were singing. Forgot my babblefish. / Corel Paintshop Pro Photo XI did the editing / shot taken due east

1 Thessalonians 4:16 / For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: / Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. / / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / / Canon 400d / /

DEATH, THE FRIEND If I could be forever young, / And all the year were May; / If all the songs were yet unsung, / And night escaped the day; If one I’ve loved were near me yet, / If I might reach his hand, / Or if—or if I might forget / Or ever understand; If there were no adventuring / Beyond the stars unfurled, / Then I might be content to cling / For ever to the world. / ~Frank Fisher Slocomb This was taken at the Lorenzo cemetery in St. Augustine Florida.

A powerful and bold sky above the old section of the Millicent Cemetery. The work and effort put into the headstones in these days is a testament to the love, honour and memories of those passed and those left behind. Canon 400D, 3 shot HDR, converted in Photomatix and tones altered in Photoshop.

(Please, view larger). / Yewa is the Orisha of Death. She is a Virgin Orisha. Her priestesses are past their prime and always celibate. She is associated with Saint Claire. Her color is pink. When she dances at funeral rites she covers her face with two horse tails. She is queen of the underworld. She represents the spiritual side of the Goddess, the inward-looking, mystical aspects of being. This is basically a cinema 4D render; just a bit postwork to enhance the atmosphere. / (CINEMA 4D is a commercial, cross-platform, high-end 3-D graphics application, produced by MAXON Computer, Germany.)

Toddler leaning on soldier’s gravestone at a National Military Cemetery in the United States. This is one of those moments when I felt I was destined to be at this place at this moment in time. Nikon F3, 300mm f2.8 EDAF lens, Kodachrome 25

To die: to sleep; / No more; and by a sleep to say we end / The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks / That flesh is heir to, ‘tis a consummation / Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep; / To sleep: perchance to dream: aye, there’s the rub; / For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, / When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, / Must give us pause (Shakespeare)
