Urn, Nunhead on Flickr.Via Flickr:
What I find so affecting about Nunhead is not that people believed they entered the afterlife there, but years after they died they entered a sort of afterdeath. Forgotten, but not gone. A promise of eternity broken within the span of a few generations.
Nunhead now remains as a memorial to graves rather than the dead.
Do check out the set of “The Grave” if you are that way inclined.
Shot on Ben’s Yashica Mat 124G with Neopan 400, which I shall miss when I give it back. Not the sharpest tool in the box (the Yash not Ben) but I liked composing on ground glass.
