Grave art in rural south GA

There's a lot of different cameras in play here: an Argus Matchmatic 135, a Soligor 45, and the Pentax 645.  I am a huge fan of weird grave art and this past weekend, we found the mecca of all things grave related in Cairo, GA!  It was a bit overwhelming, even by my standards.  Here's a few of the more successful ones.

And, here's some of the more unsuccessful ones.  Just in case you thought I might be overstepping with my description. :)

This is an old graveyard behind a working mill in Whigham, GA.  The blurrier pic is from my Soli - it shows the Slow: Children Playing sign.  But the sign is behind the mill...and in between the graveyard and the train tracks.  I feel badly for these children.

And there were tons of dixie flags (some new, some tattered and faded) in these old, dilapidated, and very remote graveyards.  I recognize that the confederate flag is a part of the south's history - it's a part I'm not sure should be celebrated, but like any flag, I find it interesting as a visual symbol.  Here's the best of the dixie flag pics.

Whigham and whatnot

Wound up in a sleepy little town called Whigham, GA last weekend.  It was a true small town, where people waved from their porches and everyone was eager to tell us of the town's healing springs long ago used as a baptismal well.  The PO-lice station had one cop with one car, and he was windexing the front door as we walked by.  I love rural America.  All shot with a Pentax 645.

 On the way, we swung by Southside Tallahassee: shot with a Pentax 645.

  

As promised, here's more Big Sperms!  I love spotting familiar taggers all over town!

My dad's old Soligor 45 (a 35mm camera that requires me to drill out the bottom of the 35mm canister to fit the pre-auto-rewind build) is semi-magical when it comes to animals.  Almost all of the animal shots I've taken have been with this camera.  So, whenever I'm in the mood to make some furry friends, I've only to load up the Soli and wait for them to appear.  :)

Home sweet home

Due to an overload of incomprehensible statistics homework and a lot of thunder storms this month, I've been hanging closer to home.  So, I'm pleased to introduce you to my fair and beautiful Tallahassee. Ain't she a peach.  :)  These were shot with a Pentax 645 and a Yashica MAT 124 G, both on 120 film.

And here's the local taggers I've been following.  I call them Big Sperm, Revolution Daisy, and Paper Monster Man.  I think I've posted some big sperms and revolution daisies from earlier jaunts.  If not, stay tuned!  :)
