Jennifer Bishop “Graveyard Truck” 12/06/18

I like to peruse graveyards for interesting photos, looking for anything out of the ordinary. On my way to a shoot in Western Maryland with a little time to kill, I stopped into the local cemetary to see what I might find, and was jarred by the sight of this truck. The sunshade was seemingly iridescent in the sun, like a TV screen, and the sentimental wintry scene felt at odds with its setting, making me wonder: was this truck owner a hunter who liked idealizing his prey? Or a nature lover? Or both? Was he a grave digger? A mourner? A body snatcher? What lay inside the smooth impenetrable surfaces of this truck?
