The Van Ness-Parsons tomb in Green Wood cemetery, Brooklyn is a curious mixture of Egyptian and Christian iconography.

Again, according to Douglas Keister this maternal figure may be a representation of Pharaoh’s daughter finding Moses in the bulrushes, in Egypt. This is to one side of the Van Ness-Parsons mausoleum, Green Wood cemetery, Brooklyn, New York.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

That first image is superb - the processing is spot on, the composition excellent and the skies are lovely
