Meet You at the Cemetery Gates
Check out Holly Northrop's atmospheric slide show of Green-wood Cemetery in this week's Village Voice. Eerie.

Very Nice photos,I also love taking photos in Green-Wood. But nothing a high school student with a plastic Holga camera- which will produce similar moody effects - taking a first year photo course couldn't do. Shame on Village Voice for publishing these as some sort of high artistic endeavor.

seems that this was actually taken by a photographer named Holly Northrop. See following photos.

Lots of photographers do like to use the Holga. I'm a professional photographer and I enjoy taking my Holga out from time to time. It beats digital!

Appologies to Anon at 1:59. I am the poster at 12:03. I use a plastic Holga, plastic Noreo 3-D and Horizon 202 panorama to take pics around Brooklyn. Would recommend any of these for pics of the area. I love the effects on all these cameras and didn't mean that those were not artistic tools. I just didn't think that the photos were that great. I've seen much better of similiar subject and similar effect. My opinion.

Sure it wasn't a Pantera reference? Though Dime-Bag Darrell is buried din Dallas, TX, not Green-Wood ;)

'Twas indeed a Smiths reference.
