Return of the 8800

My camera was returned to me last Wednesday. It turned out to be a $177 tumble into the sand. (Ouch.) But she is back, and I celebrated by biking to Mount Auburn Cemetery and shooting about a hundred pictures. The light was not great — there was a lot of foliage casting wiggly shadows on everything — but it feels awfully good to be able to document my life visually once again. It gives me the ability to snatch at moments as they fly past, arrest their tumbling rush, pin them to the cork-board. That's the memorial to Mary Baker Eddy, founder of Christian Science, looming above this paragraph.

You can see another forty-some, including a series of Monuments I Don't Understand, at my cemetery page on Flickr.
