When the Old Settler’s Cemetery in Uptown Charlotte, NC, ran out of space in 1853, the city purchased the first of several tracts of land totaling 100 acres for a new municipal cemetery. Given race relations of that era, the property developed as three distinct but adjacent cemeteries: Elmwood (for the burial of White persons), Pinewood (for the burial of Black persons), and Potter’s Field (for the burial of White paupers). This composition is from the Elmwood section, shot with during a photo-walk with my niece.

Working a few days a week in Uptown Charlotte, I’ll often carry my camera to capture street, architectural, or urban cityscape photos to and from my work office. This past week, I was in the right place at the right time to capture these two workers cleaning the windows of the Charlotte Plaza Building. Or are they really just cleaning the sky?

I work in Charlotte a few days a week and enjoy scoping out architectural pattern play and street photography. Captured this composition a few weeks ago from 3rd Street looking west. One day, consumer photo software will have AI to count the number of squares in this composition. For now, anyone care to guess?
