Mt Vernon Cemetery, Philadelphia, Pa
Near Fairmont Park there are quite a few cemeteries, the largest of which is Laurel Hill. It extends for quite a ways along side the Schuylkill River but there is also Mount Peace, but Mt Vernon is the second largest.
But it is overgrown and in poor condition. I saw it from Laurel Hill and the horrible condition of the entrance. The building at the entrance has been in disrepair for many years by the look of it.
Entrance off of Ridge and Lehigh.
This is only part of Mt Vernon apparently. The other part is open and accessible and that is where I parked. I will leave out the details of how I got into the cemetery.
From over the fence from Mt Peace.
Once inside the cemetery there was no sign of human activity. No tracks, nothing cleared, no that is not true. One small area had been cleared fairly recently. A headstone dated from 1994, the area around it, while not cleared, had been cut back probably last summer or fall. It is the most recent head stone I saw.
Another thing that I am a little confused by is the condition of the pavement and drives.
Here is a screen grab from google maps. It is dated as 2015.
It has been a long time since this place was taken care of. The pavement of the drives is broken and nearly fully covered by vegetation. This does not happen over night or a few years.
I will be heading back in the future, at an undisclosed time, to get some video and more photos. It will be in daylight, and it will be early in the morning. I am not specifically afraid of ghosts, zombies or ghouls. I do have an over active imagination which can cause all sorts of problems, like being afraid of the dark! I am more concerned with bumping into a crackhead or junkie than anything else.
More to come.

October 13, 2013 Busy day
It was a busy day.
Left the house around 830 am for Reading, Pa, it is about an hour and a half drive depending on traffic, which wasn't too bad Sunday morning. The plan was to go to 1Up Collectables in West Reading to drop off some painting supplies for the gaming club, stuff I don't use anymore. Then head over to Grings Mill for an outdoor shoot, then head home for a pin up shoot. It mostly went to plan.
I stupidly forgot to check what time the store opened. So I went over to Grings Mill to wait. Walked around a little bit, it hadn't changed all that much since the last time I was there.
While waiting I saw a woman walking around looking at her phone, parked a little ways up from me. Amanda texted me if I was there yet, I replied yes, she texted where? It was her.

From there I stopped off at the store to drop off the paint and stuff and started home. The drive home was quicker than expected so I could get ready for the second shoot. I had a hair stylist, Samantha Ford, make up artist, Dominique Sweeney and model Arielle E on the way. Samantha and Dominique arrived and I got them set up where they would be working. Arielle was running a bit behind schedule and did let me know. So we got off to a late start.
She arrived and they got to work with hair and makeup. Having limited experience with that I didn't realize how long it would take, but it was all good because the hair and make up were outstanding!!

So thank you to Amanda, Arielle, Samantha and Dominique for making the day!

I very much enjoyed this shoot. She was coming in on the train, and when I drove out to the station it was raining, and it continued raining while I waited. But the rain stopped ten minutes before the train arrived.
My original plan was a wash. Getting to it would have been muddy and I though better of it, so time for plan B. It worked out great and the shots I got were great.
Here is a link for the set on Flickr

Cassie
What a great shoot!
I know I probably say that after almost every shoot, but this time I honestly enjoyed myself. Drove out to Manyunk for the shoot at an undisclosed location.
Cassie is a wonderful model to work with. She is upbeat, great sense of humor and the camera loves her. The shoot went great, and the photos prove it.
