Description
Gone Home (The Farewell), 2009. In addition to photographing cemeteries, I also teach in them as well. Learning iconography or the study of gravestone carvings and their meanings has not only given me great satisfaction in teaching others about it, but also brought me closer to my subject. Every time I enter a cemetery now, I'm excited by what I'm about to learn because each time I learn something new. Here is a close up from an obelisk grave from the Central coast town of Santa Maria. The clasped hands of a man and woman signify the relationship between husband and wife and the bonds of marriage that survive even in death.
