I am pleased to be participating again in the One World One Heart Event! This wonderful event gives bloggers all over the world a chance to get to know each other, to meet and greet via the web.
My name is Rita Bellanca aka the Atomic War Bride. I love to dabble in all types of art media- from jewelry to painting to digital art to sculpture to photography and anything in-between. I'm especially drawn to images/ideas from the 1940s thru the 1960s- everything from old etiquette books to fashion catalogs to educational films, but I also have a darker more gothic side- I love to wander around cemetaries with my camera.
Hence my offering for the OWOH giveaway this year is one of my favorite cemetary photos: "Decay".
I took this photo in a lovely small cemetary on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state.
Please leave a comment on this blog in order to be entered into the giveaway. I will need a way to contact you so please be sure to include your email address or a link that leads to your email address.
The winner will receive an 8x10 print of this photo. I will pick the winner in the evening of Feb 17th and will notify said person by the 18th if not sooner.
Thank you for looking!!
Rita

Imagine my delight to find someone at OWOH who loves the cemtary's. I have visited them for as long as I can remember. I also make stones for them, although I don't blog about that . I should, I have hundreds of photos from places I have been. Keep taking your awesome pictures.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE one of yours.
Hey Rita, so nice to meet you. Love your spirit!! I grew up with stories of "La Llorona" and "The Cucui (might not be the correct spelling)" or better known as the Boogie Man!!
We had this maid as a children who used to tell us all these stories about all the weird goings-on in her village in Northern Mexico...my mother was livid when she found out and fired her, damn, we loved that maid!! It was my pussy brother who ratted her out!!! He's 56 now, and I still throw that up at him!! LOL
Anyway, have a great week and again, thanks for stopping by.
