The mortuarian after a hard nights work?

It was a new world, and time had moved on from the days of the past, where people lived, and people died.

Oh, people still lived, certainly, and people still died. Yet there was a new way. For the dead? They didn't always stay that way.

In the past, when one died, they were buried or burned, and honored and grieved, and that way they remained forever. It was considered a decent system, a good system, but always humanity strove to discover the secret to immortality. For a way to cheat death.

Then, one day, it was found. A way to renew a life that had passed on. A way to recover that which was lost. It was a new technology that would change the world (and not for the better, some would say).

And in the way of our species, this new technology was named in honor of the old ways, and they called it Crypt, and humanity would never be the same again.

nice play on words, good conversion to B&W

Maybe a tighter crop from the left to center the "crypt"

Really awsome black and white shot! It would have been so boring to shoot the same thing in the daytime but here it has lots of drama.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:32:21 PM
the toning on this is exquisite (not a word I usually use, but the first one that popped into my head). love the composition, the dof, the darks and the lights. 8

The keeper?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:40:04 PM
I like the B&W conversion here. Composition could be a little stronger.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 12:31:40 PM
St. Martin-in-the-Fields right? Didn't they do a good job?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:11:32 AM
Excellent. Really.... Back to re-evaluate the screening group and bumping you up.

I'm finding this image weird, I really am. I stare closely at the signage and I can make out that there's a café inside, and a chapel, and a box office, and a shop, and, of all things, "brass rubbings"?

Elementary deduction tells me this is probably in England, and it may very well be an entrance into a part of the British Museum? See how hard you're making me work? Off to google now...

Nawp, found it :-) It's the London Brass Rubbing Centre (the Crypt) at St. Martin's-in-the-Field. Proud of me?

Anyhow, the image is subtle and in-your-face all at the same time, and I find myself liking it more and more.

Nice shot but IMO the top needs to be crop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:15:28 AM
I don't know what your title says but I like the shot. Looks like a movie scene.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Omg, it's a zombie! Nice street image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Hmmmmmmmmmm Don't know what to say! Freeky I guess ,fits best.

great name for whatever that building is - nice shot...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 07:59:26 PM
Great details on this night shot. I think a square crop would have worked better.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Makes me scratch my head an wonder what is going on here, and what the title and placard in the shot are referring to.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 10:21:44 PM
This is nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:36:11 PM
An arresting image, one that makes me linger a bit. I have a personal problem with subtle tilt and would prefer it straight up and down ... but it's personal preference ... don't sweat it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:34:17 PM
Very nice composition. Perhaps a bit more off the top, but as is I like it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:09:11 PM

Nice catch... : )

This has a lovely tonal range, and the way the composition draws attention to the subject is really great.
