I feel that taking pictures with the native plants adds to the provenance
of
the graveyard. In 2003 John Walters restored Newby cemetery and he took
meticulous care to replant the lush native Myrtle ivy growing around the
stones that were in abundance.
The next door neighbor told us that the spring flowers were fantastic under
all the trees so I made it a point to go back in the spring and take
pictures of the flowers with the newly cleaned stones and that documented
the type of plants growing there. Since a pioneer graveyard is one of the
only undisturbed places around, it is interesting to see what it would have
looked like hundreds of years ago by going in the spring and documenting
this. Bob

Hi All-
I went into the woods a few weeks ago to take some shots in the late
afternoon light-found the moss growing on rocks and wetland plants
sprouting
through the leaves. Is there a need for gravestone photography that both
documents and has artistic qualities?
I'm currently doing restoration work in two small southern Michigan
cemeteries, with plans to start work in a small LaGrange CO., IN. graveyard
this summer.
all the best-
Bruce
