Ghosts of Savannah, a photo from Georgia, South

Photographer's Note

One of the richest of Southern cities in pre-civil war USA, Savannah has its ghosts. It was the main port of call of the slave ships from Africa, and most African Americans today would have at least one ancestor who had passed through the auction boards of this city before the civil war.

Animesh:creative, catchy, and morbid. What a great time to have your lens handy. Choice of BW and your motion blur further enhance the wraith-like aspects of this image. best, c

LOL This is a sight for sore eyes. As much as I enjoy the culture available here in Chi town, I miss the odd idiosyncrasies (and the warm weather) of Savannah. I like the sense of motion in this composition and the grain is very nice. Adds to the over all feel.
