Description
A little experiment here. This picture was taken with a cheapass point and shoot camera about two years ago in Old Gray Cemetery in Knoxville, TN. Walgreens screwed the development, and this was one of three exposures that actually came out on the negative. I tossed the negative into my closet and forgot about it until about three weeks ago when I found it, covered in scratches.
When I found it I liked the way the scratches looked, so I scanned it in using an HP negative scanner, then converted it to sepia using Photoshop's duotone feature. Slight saturation tweaking later, I had the image you see here.

Ooooh! I love this! The scratches make it seem old, and the sepia is the perfect tone. It's almost as if we're viewing a still from a very old movie. Also, the scratches add to the spookiness of the subject matter. On a side note, being old enough to remember what a monumental fuckup Ray Blanton was as a governor back in the 70s, I find irony in the name on the tombstone being Blanton.
