In November I travelled to Prague and various parts of Germany - rounding out another episode of my project, "Here Lies." http://jamroski.zxq.net/photo/here_lies.html

Here's a few that I processed today, 4 months after the trip... 

Fuji Gf670, Provia 400 X-processed.

Very interesting series, Gregor!
I confess I had something similar in my mind for quite a long time now, but didn't managed to start yet.. (Though my plan was to concntrate on half-forgotten, overgrown cemeteries in more rural settings.. We'll see...
Anyway, I hope you'll be doing more in this project and I'm looking forward to see more of it.

Hey Andrej !

The half forgotten and rural cemeteries are hard to find and take a lot of networking in any given country.  There is a project called the International Jewish Cemetery Project that has a pretty good road map of known locations.  Not sure if they can help set up local guides which are certainly necessary in many locations.

This is an interesting project. I assume the reason these Jewish cemeteries are 'half forgotten' is because the holocaust killed all the families and communities that would have kept them up. I'm glad they are being preserved in some way.

Really lovely stuff, I'm such a sucker for old cemeteries, especially with old Hebrew writing (these inscriptions are most likely in Yiddish, which is spelled out using the Hebrew alphabet). If you ever make to Międzyrzec, Poland you might see my family name (or some form of it).

I love your cross-processed look, too. Much more subtle than I would have expected from cross processed, or what I usually get!
Anyway, I really appreciate this project. I'll try to keep following it.

hey thanks everyone for your comments !

The x-pro turned out nicely - about what I had expected coming out of the Fuji gf670.  When I would occasionally x-pro with the Diana or similar cameras the plastic lens gave tremendously different results....
