Visiting Baby Rosalie

December 10, 2019 Ted Jennings - TPJ Photography 4 Comments

Rosalie Raymond White’s (d. 1882) headstone is actually a detailed bassinet, and her likeness is peering out of it with a green patina to her little face.

There was a time when creating plaster cast masks was popular. Rosalie is an example of a mask. Not many are left undamaged.

A number of children in this family passed at an early age. Rosalie is the only one with this type of elaborate monument though.

It’s not unusual to find small gifts here.

The stones here sit under trees, on the edge of water. A storm will take it’s toll sooner or later. However for now time has been kind to this spot.

From a walk, US Civil War cemetery.

Unknown - Black And White — Unknown – Black And White

Charleston was under a blockade during the war.

This might account for the large unknown sailor area in the Magnolia ‘Soldiers Ground’ cemetery.

End Of Day In B&W

For me shooting a scene like this in a monochrome / black and white format is difficult. The image is about contrast and shade, which I’m fine with. It’s the sky I always fight with.

Atlantic shore just outside Charleston, South Carolina.

Found on a walk.

Each set unique, with stories I’ll never know.

This church was nearly complete in 1776 when the US Revolutionary War began, finally being repaired and officially dedicated in 1787.

Broad Street, Charleston, South Carolina

December 2, 2019 Ted Jennings - TPJ Photography Leave a comment

One of the oldest and prominent streets in Charleston, South Carolina. It is known for its wealth of historic buildings.

During the 1700s, the eastern portion of Broad Street was occupied solely by merchants and craftsmen until the “Four Corners of Law” (Federal Courthouse and Post Office, the County Courthouse, City Hall, and St. Michael’s Episcopal Church) were built on their respective corners of Broad and Meeting Streets. The collection of buildings transformed Charleston into a legal and financial capital.

The wealthiest families lived ‘South Of Broad Street’. The rich plantation owners lived there, but people outside the city began referring to their relatives as the “SOB’. You figure LOL.

Broad Street, Charleston, South Carolina

This spot was also part of the original wall which protected the city from the Spanish in St. Augustine, Florida.

John Rutledge House, located at 116 Broad Street, holds a second floor drawing room where several drafts of the United States Constitution were written. At that time Charleston was the wealthiest city in the US.
