I recently went on a little field trip to the Marietta Confederate Cemetery. I have passed this cemetery many times in the 8 years that I have lived in the area, but never stopped to check it out. It is located off Powder Spring Street in Marietta, Georgia close to Marietta Square.

The cemetery began in 1863 and consists of the Marietta Confederate Cemetery and the Marietta City Cemetery. There are 3,000 soldiers buried here from every southern state. Improvements have been made over the years from local donations.

I thought it was a good place to learn a little bit more about my region while practicing with my new digital SLR camera. Before I was enamored with design and marketing, my first love in the creative field was photography. The recent purchase of a digital SLR camera has helped me remember how much I love taking photos. It will be a new creative medium for me that I am happy to embrace again!

If you have any tips or critiques of these or any other photo that I have taken, please let me know. I am still learning and all is fair game!
