Cemeteries have always fascinated me. Since learning that the Neanderthals buried their dead reverentially, the idea of how we put to rest those who came before us is something more atavistic than religious strikes me. The untold stories of the dead, the lives they led, and the manner of their death has always drawn me to these places.
I only photograph grave plots either with permission or when they are public out of respect for the families. I don’t think the dead mind - although I'm not religious, it keeps their enduring legacy alive.
