Victorian Valhalla, Bonaventure Cemetery, Savannah, Georgia, 2014

Bonaventure is Savannah’s most hauntingly beautiful cemetery. Its Southern Gothic character has captured the imaginations of writers, poets, photographers and filmmakers over the last 150 years. I walked among its Victorian tombs in a light drizzle for over an hour, and made several hundred images in this lush city of the dead. I offer seven of them here. Each speaks to us of remembrance, the passage of time, and a belief in immortality. In this image, I express Bonaventure’s atmosphere, largely defined by a forest of live oaks draped in Spanish moss. This moss softly frames the image in the foreground, and more of it is softens the background. Lodged among these trees is flowering foliage, a towering obelisk symbolizing immense wealth and prestige, and several softly focused tombs included as context.
