I walk through a damp graveyard hoping that there will be a headstone for the stranger I am looking for. I am on a mission to photograph the marker at the request of a stranger in search for his or her kindred dead. Why? Perhaps this stranger is the one who in paying forward what I have done will touch the stranger who will fill my request for help in finding my kindred dead. And I do it because I know it is important to someone else who may never have a chance to travel here to see for his or herself.

Thank you to you strangers who have helped me with or without request. I will try to make your deeds worthwhile by doing the same for others.

I make no real claim to the photos I take and post here. They are for the families left behind. I have no desire to have the most memorials or photos. Use my photos as you will
