Memorial Day

I attended my first Memorial Day service last week in Farmington. It was unusual to photograph an event held in a cemetery, where everyone seemed calm and reverent. The feeling washed over me as I took these pictures. I ran them on a photo-page without an adjoining article because I felt they were better able to capture the feeling of the day than words.

The Country Remembers

I shot this intending for the strong light to washout part of the image, but the juxtaposition of the older man (my father in law) appearing clearly as the younger man (my brother in law) fades was partially luck.

Happy Memorial Day; Shot Saturday in Fillmore, MN.
