In a desire to do some exploring to a city I'd never been to before, I picked Natchez, MS for a weekend trip. The city sits upon a series of hills, which was a welcoming new landscape for exploration. This cemetery sits along the river, upon an array of taller hills within the city's historic district. As I pull into the cemetery, I am immediately struck at it's size, of which, I saw only a fraction of it's enormity. It wasn't until I relocated to an older area of the cemetery that the enormity of Natchez City Cemetery was revealed. I park and start exploring as much as possible that surrounded me. I get so winded climbing hills, that I move my car to the highest point to get the top down vantage.
I recently received criticism from a viewer that I did not film a Confederate Soldier area. To be clear, no effort was made to "NOT" film those markers, in fact, I did not know there was a Confederate Soldier area until I was editing the videos. The critique has bothered me... was this viewer suggesting that I should have made a point of filming Confederate Soldier graves, and if so, why? Was this a troll, or did this person think they knew me well enough to make that comment? Did they watch any of my other videos and realized that I have in fact filmed Confederate graves and memorials. Not because I approve in any way of The Confederacy, but because they are there and I respect the dead.
Not in the final cut was my embarrassing fall off of a wall with camera in hand.
