So these are my memorial shots. I took these today at the Missouri Vetrens cemetery in Springfield Mo. Feel free to tell me what you think.

Nicely done, David. I wasn't sure where to post mine; I put 'em in People.

This is a really nice series, so nice in fact i can't pick a favourite! ;)

We need to rename the forum urban life and death to accommodate cemetry shots. :lol:

Thanks scott. Means a lot. I put alot of thought into these shots.. I have even thought about contacting some of the family members of the people whose graves I was shooting.

Very nice shots with a lot of emotion. I feel the enormous sacrifice and terrible loss. You chose very well when processing these - each photo has just the right composition and tone for the subject captured. Thanks for posting, I really enjoyed looking at your work.

Well done. I think it would be a nice gesture to do that.
I recently took some shots in a cemetery in Kauai and thought of the same thing. All the graves were Japanese so I was out of luck on that.

yeah can you read japanese?

Nope. That's why I was out of luck. I sent some pics to my cousin though who lives in Japan.
