In Digital Photography, a beginning photography course at City tech, Robin Michals’ students visited Green-Wood Cemetery for the first time, and experienced, interacted, and captured the cemetery through fresh eyes. The images chronicle the wonder of experiencing Green-Wood Cemetery for the first time. Whether capturing gravestones and statuary, the natural environment, or the interplay of graveyard and urban center, these photographs show students from five different semesters experimenting, taking risks, and honing their own aesthetic approach.
Before photographing Green-Wood, the students visited Brooklyn Historical Society to examine original documents related to the cemetery’s history. Directly and indirectly, their work reflects the knowledge they gained from their archival research. Together, the images reveal the many personal, social, and cultural roles that the cemetery has played and continues to play in the lives of Brooklynites.
