I take pictures of headstones because they are beautiful. I take pictures of graves to remember. To remember the person, and to remind myself of how precious life is.

When I saw this angel for the very first time she captivated me.The face of the child, the solemn look reminds me of my grief, allowing me to never forget the ones I have lost. I have photographed the angel to the right more than once. Each and evertime she has appeared different.
