The Thirteenhundreth
© mylatehope.com
In The Thirteenhundreth, I used the natural vignette of my 1960’s Diana F camera to contradict the anonymity of a numbered grave. The camera’s poor optics creates out of focus darkened corners, drawing attention to the subject in the middle of the frame. The ever-present Diana light leak adds hope that the soul has escaped its anonymity.
Make sure you check out my girlfriend's entry for this theme. It's amazing!
Created using my original Diana F camera with expired Fuji Provia RHP 120 film. Negative scanned with my Epson v700 Perfection scanner. No digital manipulation used!

@Katie: This is one of many potter's fields (a cemetary for unknown or indigent people) located near the Rhode Island state institutions.
