Playing with the camera
« on: January 22, 2015, 10:21:17 PM »
The wife and I made a visit to a local cemetery Sunday to take some pictures (and visit family).

Still new to playing with Photoshop but here are a few shots.

Very nice. I can't make out the writing on that really old one, the third one down. Do you know what it says?

Both of the stones are in Cherokee.  Other than the 1899 date, which is believed to be year of death,  I got nothing.  I was told years ago that the Cherokee writing  was his name. It's suffered from the elements quite a bit and has partially eroded away.

A friend of mine and his wife used to go out to old graveyards and use butcher paper and crayons or charcoal or something to rub over the paper placed on the old headstones to capture the text.  Not my thing, but some things of mine are not others', either.

They called themselves "grave rubbers."

No lie.
