Dia de Los Muertos

Today Norman Rockwell Museum is presenting its annual walking tour of the Stockbridge Cemetery, burial site of such town luminaries as The Sedgwick Family, Elizabeth Freeman, and Norman Rockwell. The tour kicks off at 5 p.m., with a cider and donut reception outside of the town's clock tower (site of Rockwell's 1971 Springtime in Stockbridge painting).

A few weeks ago I headed over to the cemetery, in an attempt to take some "spirited" photos for inclusion in a Halloween events commercial being produced by the Greater Springfield Visitors Bureau and CBS-3 Springfield. It was a bright, late summer day, but my intent was to get some shots that verged on the "scary" and "sinister." Here are a few of the more successful shots:


Camera: Canon EOS 60D, mostly manual setting/non-flash.
