14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Mt Hope B&W

I took this photo at the famous Mt Hope Cemetery in Rochester, NY. I timed my visit for when the leaves would have fallen from the trees. I was looking to capture an image of loss, and being old and worn out. I also thought that taking all the color out of the photo would reinforce that feeling.
