Although not an original idea, I have found myself attracted to photographing cemeteries, grave yards, tombs, shrines and the like for years. I like the serene atmosphere and beauty of these sacred spaces. There is so much unspoken yet understood when you stand among the past. Therefore I thought I'd share what I've seen and maybe write a little about these experiences.

Maysville & Jefferson, GA 2007

On my way to visit my mother's school I passed by the Oconee Baptist Church on the Maysville road and snapped a few shots.

Again had I been taking these shots after the Weeping Angels had aired on Doctor Who, I wouldn't have gotten so close. 



Below are photos from a family plot that were taken near Thyatira Church Road in Jefferson, GA. The plot is right across from several houses just off a dirt road. I imagine the kids that live there might have been a little creeped out by it---or maybe that's just me.
