I was combing through my photography archives when I came across this picture of the Washington Monument at dusk with busy rush hour traffic in the foreground.

In the shadow of the Washington Monument lies a small grave simply bearing the name “Infant“.  Similar to my Here Lies collection, I have also embarked on a photography project surrounding infants that show a breadth of life and death.  This is very much a work in progress with an uncertainty of how it will come to life.  This image is the first in the collection.

This experiment will allow me to test out a couple of different email subscription forms as well as a new theme.

For now…thanks for hanging in there with me as I change things up.  In the meantime, I have launched a new photography gallery over at:  daveantholdphotography.com.  Check it out & let me know your thoughts here.

Until next time…

This site houses collections in:

• Urban Exploration
