Notes

After recovering from cancer surgery in late 2019, I started the work of trying to build a freelance graphic design business. Which is when the covid pandemic started. My work was drying up and we as a global community were facing an impending lockdown.

So I got in my car and went on a cemetery tour of upstate New York.

Albany Rural Cemetery is a big place, and Peckham's grave was hard to find and required driving over soft mud to get there. And once I found it, as with Paterson, the sun was blazing on the thing. Nearly impossible to capture a shot where the stone was legible.

Also buried here are Justice William Paterson and President Chester A Arthur
