Robert & Lucinda Gravestone

Humboldt City Cemetery, Humboldt Nebraska

This is an interesting photograph. These stones are hard to get. The lettering is the same color as the stone surrounding it. Therefore, you have to spray the whole stone with shaving cream, then scrape off the excess & shoot it. The shaving cream doesn't harm the stone in any way, wears off quickly, & provides you with a clear photograph. The trick is to wipe away the excess shaving cream so that it doesn't cloud up the rest of the stone. Look closely & you can see there's still soem shaving cream left on the stone.
