tales from the crypt

Attended the annual "Tales From The Crypt" event in Columbus, MS. Perhaps the coolest, most unique thing ever. Students pick a name of someone that is buried in Friendship Cemetery, spend time researching that person and write a paper about an event in that person's life. Then they make their paper into a script and reenact that story at the cemetery, above their grave. In the evening. By candlelight. Whoa. Yes.

Learning about the past with a definite twist. Very cool lensbaby shot.

Nice capture

[Domenico Dodaro]

I like how the photo tells the story. Good one!

[Saskia Holditch]

Good shot!

[M. Brutus]

That sounds very cool. Do people ever veer off into fiction when there is not much info on a particular deceased person? Your photo is very evocative. May I ask, did you achieve the blur during shooting or in photo editing?

[Peter Dulis]

Love it ...

[Gosia]

Interesting story.

[Krista Marson]

@mbrutus no, the teacher provides a list of names to choose from based on how much info is avail on them. Blur is in camera...lensbaby lens.

Wonderful shot -- perfect use of LB for the scene, and love your title!

[Wim Enserink]

Nice picture with a nice story

[Paula W]

That does sound interesting. The lensbaby effect suits the image and its story perfectly.

[Laura]

What a great idea. Perfect shot for a lensbaby.

@blueberry1222 Thanks for your reply. I've often seen the Lensbabies advertised but have yet to take the plunge. Too confusing for me, with all the different models and concepts.

A perfectly unnerving photograph - well accomplished and processed - great information on the event as well.
