Archduke's Crypt, Artstetten, Austria, 2003

Archduke Frans Ferdinand, whose 1914 assassination in Sarajevo triggered World War I, is entombed in this crypt on the grounds of Artstetten Castle, just outside of Vienna. The only light entering the crypt comes from a small window, barely enough to cast a soft golden glow on the tomb of the man who almost became an emperor. The soft light enhances the mood of this memorial image, while the interplay of light and shadow add a sense of dimensionality to the scene.
