If you go down to the cemetery today...

Had a little visit to a cemetry in Nottingham today to get some atmospheric pictures as documentation of my costume for my one man show of A Christmas Carol. I was attempting to pose Victorian style amongst the gravestones (like you do) and had my camera setting on the self timer setting. I posed with a few gravestones and was crossing the main path when I saw a young woman coming in my direction. She looked friendly and had a Nikon camera with her so I asked her if she would be kind enough to take some pictures of me in my costume. Her name was Jenna and did a great job. Thanks Jenna!  She was in the graveyard to take some pictures of her own of graves of soldiers killed in the First World War. I hope that you remember my site name and enjoy seeing your work. :)





After this I went into the city and had some lunch at the Broadway cinema and hung around the backstreets of the Lace Market area and took some more photos before I went home.

Hi Phil
The last photo of you in the graveyard looks like you have wings. Nice photos.

J:That's very sweet of you. I am on Facebook if you'd like to keep in touch. Thanks again for your friendliness and co-operation. :0)

The one of you sitting down makes you look like Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull. All you have to do now is get a flute and stand on one leg.

Excellent shots ... you'll get arrested hanging around cemeteries in funny clothes!!! Well at least you kept them on for your latest photoshoot!!!

I was thinking of the resemblance to Ian Anderson too ('cept I couldn't think of his name, just knew im as the Jethro Tull man). Like the sepia photo best.

Great photos.
How about some more of Nottingham, please ?!!

Nice pictures. I agree with Ken...they do look like over-sized wings at first glance.
