2008 All Souls Procession

These photographs are dedicated to Jill Ann Smith, friend, artist and muse. Jill, we miss you so.

Hello Friends,
I have come to view the All Souls procession as the beginning and end of the year. So happy new year! I have been photographing the event for years and try to do something different each year. Last year I walked in the Procession with the " antler cam" and shot from a totally different perspective. You can see the results here: www.flickr.com/photos/solodog/sets/72157 602997788243/
We lost a dear friend at this time last year and I really wanted to walk for her this time. I took the antler cam and headed down but the fates were playing with us all by sending a cold front through that brought with it strong wind gusts, lightning and a bit of rain.It was really beautiful. Antler cam was thwarted by the wind blowing feathers in front of the focus sensor so all the shot were blurry. I left briefly to return later sans antler cam and enjoyed the rest of the procession thinking of our friend Jill Ann Smith. I am posting a few shot taken at the finale and hope you enjoy them. See you all next year!
