For the final photography class of my undergrad program, we were tasked to create a photography book, but the catch was we were going to be using large format film. The purpose of this was to force the students to slow down when taking photographs. The topic of my book is the subject of death, so the most apt setting would be a cemetery. It is the "final resting place" for the majority of people who pass on. The text in the book is a collection of quotes about death, most of which see it as a positive thing.
