Originally from Australia, now living in New York City. This began as trying to locate the resting places of my extended family... but my reach has been broad.
I make several trips back to Australia every year and spend a good amount of time photographing Memorials.

I'm not a photographer by any stretch of the imagination, but do the best I can with limited time and my inability to control the elements.

In the Memorials I create I prefer to get as much info as possible from the Headstone (although its worth keeping in mind that families sometimes make mistakes or mis-remember).

My second resource are Government BDM records... Again these can contain errors since they were digitized from Hand-Written records. And lastly creating memorials from Transcript Spreadsheets has been the most unreliable in my opinion. A lot of the dates are actually dates that the event was "Registered" and once again the Details were digitized from Hand-Written Records.

I do this on a Voluntary Basis... So please don't send any rude or snotty messages because I misspelled "Great Aunt Murgatroyd's" name. (You catch more flies with Honey than Vinegar). I try to respond to "Suggested Edits" as quickly as I can, but sometimes life gets in the way, so if I don't get to it that day, I promise that I will get it done asap.

I gladly reunite memorials with family members.
