I Choose After A Hundred Years by emily dickinson
After a hundred years
Nobody knows the place,--
Agony, that enacted there,
Motionless as peace.
Weeds triumphant ranged,
Strangers strolled and spelled
At the lone orthography
Of the elder dead.
Winds of summer fields
Recollect the way,--
Instinct picking up the key
Dropped by memory.
After reading this poem i saw that Hollywood Cemetary would be a great place to shoot.
I had never been there so i decided to walk over there but had seen photos and heard about it.
I found many things that i thought were nice illustations of some of the imagery used in the poem.
The poetry is clearly about death and seem to me that it might be a battlefield. I thought that a graveyard
petrained to the imagery as well, lines such as Agony, that enacted there (funerals) and Motionless as peace (grave stones)
winds of summer fields(long field-hills of the cemetary). Another line that applied to cemetaries was. Strangers strolled and spelled at the lone orthography of the elder dead.
At the cemetary i took images of angel and Mary statues as well as a motionless flag as well as long grassy hills.
Everything that i imagined when i read the poem i tried to document pretty much. In photoshop I used some image manipulation
to the photos. I combined two Mary statue photos i saw as well as playing with saturation and and brightness to help complete images for this poem.
