Tombstone Shadow (with hat)

Apologies to CCR for using their song title in this weird photographic situation. This is my shadow on one of my ancestors' headstones in Bellwood Cemetery in Pine Bluff, taken by me earlier this month. I was at the cemetery to check on repairs done after a tree fell on some of the headstones last year. The angle and intensity of the light in a photograph can have strange and spooky effects...

One of the bookshelves in my dining room

 

Taken today with an old camera, Canon S120, that I was  recently given. The bookshelf is a twin of the one in the other front corner of my dining room, both made for me in 1990 or 1991 by my friend Pat Calkins when I lived in Austin and he stayed with me for a week or so. I bought the dining room table from Rebecca Railsback Phillips about ten years ago. It originally belonged to the Leon Francis family in Pine Bluff.

I wasn't actually a Dial Singer, I was the little drummer boy, standing and playing snare drum, pa rumpa pum pum, maybe with a cymbal also. Let me know of any wrong identifications or who the third-from-left blond guy in the back row is. I'm thinking he's David Meyers, but I'm not sure. Also I'm not for sure if it's Lane or Mark Townsend on the far left in the second row, and I may have Joe and John Owen mixed up.
