SERIES: The Architecture of Grief and Redemption™. A Preview.

I shot these photos at a Civil War reenactment at 

Letchworth State Park New York on May 20, 2017. 

Some of these will be support photos in my upcoming

photo-essay show for Rochester's First Friday Gallery Night 

at the Montanus Gallery in Rochester, NY in August.  

I've never attended a Civil War reenactment.  It seems an odd

event, but one that I found to be oddly thought provoking.

In Doubt/In Prayer

as we keep you in our steed we anguish over

destiny, and bitter that this is so.  

the anarchy of living is having no extant guide

to offer meaning for the presumed grand scheme, 

for the aftermath unseen.
