From early childhood I remember numerous family visits to old New England cemeteries. During these visits we would seek out interesting old gravestones, trying to gain from the names, epitaphs and dates of birth and death a sense of the lives and times commemorated.

I still visit cemeteries, but now I photograph some of what I see. Samples of what I've come across can be found here: https://davehigginsphotography.com/series/as-we-are-now/

As I'm "in the area," I also make photographs for Find A Grave. This site offers a great alternative for visiting family graves that are further afield than the local cemetery.
