Feel free to use or copy any image that I post.


If I feel I have a better quality or a significantly different photo than the one already posted, I will just add it. In some cases where the original primary image is of undeniably poor quality, I will replace it with my own. This is the exception.


A few suggestion: When photographing headstones, remove any debris (e.g., trash, grass clippings, leaves, twigs, etc). Photograph the entire headstone, not just the inscription. For upright headstones, take the photo at eye level. For flat headstones, if possible take the photo directly overhead. Avoid having your own shadow in the image. Avoid back-lit photos. Edit your images to improve framing, clarity and/or poor lighting. If the grave is in a family plot alongside others, post a photo of the entire plot as well


Remember, this is not a numbers thing. This is a memorial to someone who has passed on. Put image quality above image quantity.


As Jack Buck would say...."Thanks for your time, this time, till next time."
