Cemeteries should be cherished

This page is devoted to the art gallery and historical location that is the graveyard. Many are disturbed by the graveyard touting it as "morbid" or "ghoulish". This is ignorant. Cemeteries allow us to get closer to our city's history. They memorialize the dead with beautiful statues and heartfelt writings that reflect the feelings of the families of the people who are enterred within. They are calm, beautiful places that should be honored. Unfortunately, many of our nation's cemeteries go overlooked, choked by overgrowth and improper care and marred by vandals. Visit your local cemetery and take in the beauty it gives us. Learn about the founders buried there and educate yourself about the history of the place you live.

Cemetery Photography

These are the photos I took in various cemeteries I have visited. They focus more on the art of the grave rather than specific names of those buried. I am not a religious person, but I love the iconography portrayed in the tombstone statues. If there are any photos you would like to use on your page or would like to request a print, feel free to email me.
