Cemeteries

I headed into Banff with no particular idea of what to shoot when I remembered running across the new cemetery near the east exit to Banff off highway 1. I parked outside the cemetery gate and was debating on whether I should head inside to take some pictures. New snow blanketed the cemetery and it would be obvious I was there from my footprints. I decided to head inside and was glad I did. Wandering around a cemetery in Banff made me realize that man's presence here has been stamped into the earth. Each grave tells a story of a significant person who made an impact on Banff.

I then headed to the downtown cemetery and took some photos, but weren't happy with them. I had to head back later to retake some pictures and recompose others. It's nice to feel more comfortable with the analog photography process, and have the freedom to use film and develop it.
