Often, we start with a cemetery or grave. Visually these places are a wealth of stunning images. the headstones decay while the stories live on.
Always read the headstones especially of those who obviously have stories attached to them. This often leads to unravelling a story which will lead to a photographic essay and a photographic timeline.
Photographing history allows each picture to slot into a timeline, thereby making it that much more significant.
Timelines lead from one fascinating subject to a never ending trail of worthwhile subject matter.
Please always treat locations and those within them with respect.
Very often we meet fascinating people more than keen to give us information on those buried there. They will often tell you fabulous stories of ghosts and romances and shattered or interesting lives and will point out the relevant grave sites and get you to read inscriptions as they relate the stories and legends.
If we get just one good frame that captures one of these stories, we should be satisfied. However, as soon as we get on a roll, you will find that you will get immersed in the atmosphere and transported into another world where photographs just seem to happen everywhere you look. You will always end up with dozens of good frames from each location.
Remember! Take your time! No-one around you is going anywhere fast and neither should you!
So choose the location that you are interested in, (it does not have to be a cemetery) and get into it.
