Quiet Reflection, Redux. Cimetiere du Nord, Paris. 2004 Photograph - Limited Edition of 48

The original shot I made at Cimetiere du Nord in the Montmarte section of Paris back in 2004. As I mentioned in the cropped shot of this, I love wandering through cemeteries, mostly because, as a writer, I want to see what histories, what stories, I might stumble upon. I loved the way the light went through the trees behind this cross, the various graves in the background, and during the time I was making shots this mourner came -- stayed for a moment of reflection at a grave in the distance -- and left. I hadn't seen him, focused as I was on the shot I was trying to compose. But later, when I sat down to process the shots, I found him in some -- and loved the fact he was caught in what amounted to window. That is, a window into a moment in a life and a moment of quiet reflection in a life. I didn't visit the gravesite he stood at, silent . . . I hadn't realized he'd even been there until much later. But I thought it all was just this fragile moment in time. So, I've now made two prints in somewhat different forms. Yes, they're both small. But I hope you find them as powerful as I did . . . Limited edition prints, numbered and signed, on Canson Arches Aquarelle Rag, measuring 8 x 9.9 -- or 9.6 x 11.5 with border
