St. Mary’s Cemetery, Bridgetown, Barbados, 2010

While many of my fellow-cruise passengers headed to the lovely beaches of Barbados for the day, I spent several hours shooting in two of Bridgetown’s oldest cemeteries. It seemed strikingly incongruous to me that after photographing many monuments more than 200 years old, one of the more recent headstones (2006) was already lopsided and sinking into the earth. I contrasted it to its upright neighbor, and the softly focused fence slowly toppling over in the background.
