This photograph is perhaps an appropriate offering on this night. One
evening last week on the way home I felt compelled to stop and take a picture
of this vintage funeral wagon on prominent display. More than a bit odd, it
sits just outside a local funeral parlor in a glassed in architectural canopy
clearly built just for that purpose. I
assume that this wagon was used for transporting the casket of the departed
from funeral parlor to cemetery until it was replaced by a Cadillac hearse. The
most recent version of that hearse sits not far from this exhibit.
This is more evidence (if you need any more) that as much as I enjoy “playing”
with all the vintage cameras sometimes it just comes down to the image. This is
such a case. Although there is no doubt in my mind that the Holga would have
given this photo a little something extra, the Nikon P-300 did an admirable job
of allowing me to share this unusual image with you.
