Grahamville Cemetery

Grahamville Cemetery, headstone, graveyard

After that incredible abandoned church we found on our Valentine’s Day adventure (check it out here!) I couldn’t imagine our luck getting any better. Shortly after crossing the Pennsylvania border we hit a major wall of fog. Like barely see the car in front of you wall of fog! Jeff said something like “wouldn’t you love to shoot a cemetery in this?” To which my response was “well, I doooo have the find a grave app!” I opened it real quick and found that a little ways off from the next exit was a real gem of a cemetery. The photos showed some old headstones and I was sold!

It was about ten minutes away from the freeway which when you’ve had the worst luck ever photographing fog feels like a lifetime. I’ve told you a million times in the past how every time I go to shoot some beautiful foggy location it all burns off before I arrive. I held my breath the whole way there. We went through patches where the skies were clear, and patches where you couldn’t see a darn thing. By some stroke of luck when we pulled into the driveway it was so white you couldn’t see a single headstone.

I nearly jumped out of the car. Just kidding. I literally jumped out of the car, grabbed my camera from the back and started running around snapping photos. I was so happy to just be shooting anything in the fog but the further I got into the cemetery the older the headstones were until I found that sweet spot I’d seen on the app. It was SO EXCITING. I honestly could ramble forever about how much I love fog and cemeteries, and how the two combined is like the ultimate photographic subject for me so, here, just look at my photos from the day…

I love when luck is on my side like that! There's something about the simple square headstones I really like. I can't pinpoint what it is, but I think they are so cool.

I LOVE these headstones!!! The Mabye headstone reminds me of a Ouija planchette with "Goodbye" under it, so I find that to be really cool.

i received a big girl camera for christmas and one of the main reasons i REALLY wanted it was in order to photograph fog. although i need to learn how to use the darn thing first! ha! anyhow, fog is my favorite. and these images you captured are spectacular. well done!!
p.s. i find cemeteries incredibly relaxing and try to stop when i see one that looks old and interesting. the boyfriend lives in connecticut and i asked him to take me to the oldest cemetery he knew of. i was blown away. your photos are inspiring. thank you for sharing. now i want to go back and practice with my camera!
another p.s. oh man, i promised you my baby teeth and am such a slacker that i haven't sent them yet. sheesh. will look for them this weekend!
