Long Forgotten

Old, forgotten grave in Conyers, Gerogia

this shot is from those shots that you do not matter about the camera or the anything else that is related to photography,you just care about the subject and the message that it convey,you care about the feeling you have at seeing,and start imagining how this word is spinning,and for your surprise,you will discover only sometimes that it spines in the wrong direction,when you realizes the real facts about it,

a very great shot,with great emotive power,indeed at its extreme,6/7,with regards.

really does make me feel a bit sad.

Thank you both for your comments. It really touched me at the time. This entire grave yard seemed to have been forgotten, but the old stuffed bear really hit me, as it was obviously left for a child.

I like this sensitive photo. B&W is perfect for it.

A very emotional shot, Doug!

Doug... A poignant image that touches all of us, especially as parents. I can think of nothing more debilitating than having to bury a child and this shot expresses that well... Mike

 

 

You are so right. I can't even imagine how devastating that would be. Seeing this left me feeling empty and lonely and I just had to try to capture that. Most of the graveyard I found this in was neglected and forgotten.

Such a touching photo; so very sad and lonely...brought tears to my eyes.

i think your shot definitely captures the somber mood in which you experienced this find. i always get a bit of a heart tug when i find children's graves in cemeteries. here's one i shot: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=9734552
