When I finished the Goldfinch, it was still barely time for coffee, so I decided to get brave and try something bigger and more complicated. I have to be careful to not get excessively complicated. Just to jack up the pressure, I decided to use the really expensive paper. Not the MOST expensive paper, but close.
I found a picture of Garry’s from some Autumns ago. We took a lot of pictures in and around the very old graveyard in the middle of town, right across from the dam. It was a late Autumn day. Pretty warm for late October. The sun was shining. We had cameras and got great pictures.
The one technical issue I ran into is that I wanted a field to look as if there were leaves on it, but I didn’t want those leaves to dominate the picture. I think I did something cool by making the ground looks like it’s covered with leaves, but the leaves don’t steal the show.

That’s really effective – so autumnal and slightly mysterious!

I love autumn colors — and I love that cemetery. It’s more than 300 years old and predates the Revolution by more than 100 years. It is full of the ghosts of history — and it’s a great place to take pictures.

Autumn colors are my favorite, not only to look at or for photographs, but even to wear as clothing. That was the end of autumn, but it was a good one, so a lot of the leaves were still clinging to the trees. You get that interesting juxtaposition of half naked trees and branches. And fabulous color!
