This was my second attempt at a 'fake lomo effect' in Photoshop. The grave in the photograph is indeed real, as is the Winnie the Pooh quote etched into the granite.
I was touched by this marker for several reasons (note: clicking on the image will show you a larger, more readable, version).
Clearly, this young woman (in her early 20s at the time of her death, I believe) had a profound effect on those around her, whoever the people may have been. Her life was incredibly short given the current-day, modern world trends. What happened to her? I also wondered about the process that those left behind must have gone throughand how they arrived at this quote as the marker "backside"; if this Pooh quote was a shoe-in because it was her favorite? Or maybe she hoped to one day have children of her own and was holding onto the book until that time came? Or if there were many quotes they had to sift through before they could determine together and finally agree upon feeling as though this quote was what they wanted to mark her burial plot with forever?
