Graveyards are  somber reminders of our mortality. As Jim Morrison once said, “No one gets out of here alive.” But graveyards can be the source for wonderful photographs. Grave markers have interesting inscriptions and sometimes unusual names. You’ll also find statues in graveyards and floral arrangements left by relatives and friends. If you’ve never created images in a graveyard, try it. You’ll find some wonderful source material. Approach the photo shoot with respect for those that have been laid to rest there, a creative mind, and a sense of wonder.
