Between 1864 and 1869, the Contrabands and Freedmen's Cemetery served as the burial place for about 1,800 African Americans who fled to Union-occupied Alexandria, VA to escape from bondage.

The Alexandria Freedmen's Cemetery and Memorial honors the memory of the Freedmen, the hardships they faced, and their contributions to the City.

The Memorial features artist Mario Chiodo's sculpture "The Path of Thorns and Roses," an allegorical depiction of the struggle for freedom; the Memorial's bas-reliefs depicting the flight to freedom were done by local sculptor Joanna Blake.

The dictionary defines photography as "the art or practice of taking and processing photographs" but for me it is so much more. To me my photography captures a moment in time that can never be repeated. Hopefully, it elicits an emotional response whether it is happiness, sadness, a sense of wonder or just plain fun. My interest in photography came to me later in life but has given me untold hours of enjoyment and the ability to express my creative side that I never knew I had. I hope you like my work.
