Description
...we went out looking for interesting light the other day and wound up in Evergreen Cemetery, Everett, Washington.
...this marker (and yes it is a big one) is made out of polished marble (I think) and yielded quite a highly reflective surface along with some words that struck my fancy.

This is quite interesting. I've seen a few black granite grave stones that have been polished like this. Must be very expensive to polish. I wonder how long such polishing lasts? This is a great photo - unusual. You have your portrait, the black stone, the message, your background and the background behind the stone all in one image. Interestingly you have almost matched the horizontals in the reflection with the horizontals behind the stone. From the polish, I assume the stone has been recently erected. No sign of Tara - is she hiding behind the stone? This is also an interesting study in light - shadow. I'm thinking of all the artists who composite 3D figures into photos, and getting the lighting to match between 3D and photo (not an easy task). Keep up the good work. This was another surprise! :-)

A motto to live by for sure. You did well to capture this but tell me it's not another "Hunt The Bill" Competition :)

Fine POV, and I can see your reflection in this beautifully kept marker, Bill. Kind of reminds me of the monolith in the movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey. And, is that a quote from Ronald Reagan?

Excellent photography! I love the way the reflection matches the background. That shiny surface is terrific!

Well, my memory isn't what it used to be & I'm hopeful but not necessarily optimistic about the future, but living in the present is definitely something I can subscribe to...
