Drummer

Shiloh, Tennessee

Permit me a re-shoot of a prior image with a different lens, different time. This is Shiloh National Military Cemetery today, a warm, gray day before the storms began. I have wanted to post an image which I felt emotionally about for quite a while.

A very powerful image Michael. The shallow depth of field and the clustered headstones in the background really add to the emotional impact.

Thanks, everyone.
This is a special place to me, as well to our country. This guy's headstone is off to itself, near the site of US Grant's headquarters during the Shiloh battle.

Michael, This is a really special monument. It is made more special by your beautiful portrait of it.

Another poignant image from this series. You have photographed this very well, Michael!

A Very moving image
The human race, clinging to life on the one hand
and dispensing death indiscriminately on the other,
takes some understanding.
Excellent photo Michael

Its hard not to choke up when seeing this. Beautifully done,
Michael.
