The Smiths

"To the dear memory of Rachel"




Here is a stylish stone from 1922, and interestingly, if I read it correctly, Rachel was later followed by her husband, despite him remarrying "Sallie"!


I had previously made a similar shot to this one with an old lens on my Olympus E-PL5, but I was not happy, so I took the chance to re-create it. With worn stone it is not always easy to determine if you have the focus you intended. I really liked how the ivy curved around her head.


The Smith monument, has some great details, it is a stand out piece for me in Loughborough Cemetery.
