Baby Seymour Through The Years

Baby Seymour - Eugene  2021


In 1984 Mike was wandering around an old cemetery in Eugene with tripod and twin-lens reflex when he spotted Baby Seymour’s tombstone almost covered with ivy. After developing the negative and printing it, he noticed the spider lurking in the lower right.

Returning in 2009 he found that the ivy had been removed and Baby Seymour's tombstone had been somewhat refreshed.

Last month, 37 years after the first photograph, there was still no trace of ivy, but alas, the inscription has started to become somewhat illegible.
