Copper and stone, Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, New York, 2013

Contrasting shapes, colors and textures express the nature of this handsome mausoleum. The departed lie within, seemingly secured eternally by oxidized copper bars and doors. Elegantly carved granite and marble add complementary colors to this expensive tomb. The closer I come with my camera, the greater the emphasis on the workmanship involved here. (The image may speak of enduring wealth and power, yet as the saying goes, “you can’t take it with you.”)
