A Photographer Stayed Overnight at Hollywood Forever Cemetery and Took These Film Photos During the ‘Witching Hour’ (3 AM)

6:47 PM PDT on November 2, 2021

For the most part, the cemetery was dead (no pun intended) besides a few stragglers finishing their altars. My digital camera settings kept changing by themselves although I was in full manual mode. And the keys that I keep on my belt kept getting yanked. At the peak of 3 AM, a thick fog rolled in leaving a heavy layer of condensation on the altars. Despite being in a cemetery at 3 AM, I was at peace—total peace. The Johnny Ramone photo is a double exposure, a technique old film photographers used to create ghostly photos in the past.
