A Haunting Stroll


I love when Dylana takes me around to all of her favorite cooky spots in Philly. I think she does get a kick out of trying to scare her little sissy! The morning was extremely gloomy, just about to storm for the entire day, and so we took an early stroll to the local cemetery before being hit by thunder and lightning. Dy's always been saying "I've always wanted to shoot in a cemetery!" It was locked, leaving us peering in from the gates. I caught focus with old dolls...withered flowers...just about everything that could bring shivers up and down my back! It's no secret... we've got a thing for hauntingly cool/weird things.  There's that something about Philly, being one of the oldest city's in America, that draws me to it, and always leaves me wondering. With giant messages graffitied everywhere I turn, I get more and more inspired every time I visit. I can't wait for next weekend.
