St. Joachim Catholic Cemetery
May 7th, 2008Visited the St. Joachim Catholic Cemetery in town during lunch… it may sound odd but I really enjoyed this photo walk. I only hit about half the cemetery but I really like the TTV stuff for this.
I know some people think visiting cemeteries for the purpose of a photo shoot is crass and wrong. I don’t. The way I see it, and taking into account some of the tombstones I saw, I’m paying more attention and respect than has been paid since who knows when. I also find it keeps me grounded, makes me think, question my mortality and what I’ve done and where I’m going…
I have done a photowalk in an (old) cemetery. I agree there is nothing more grounding than seeing where we are all ending up, sooner or later. I find the stories interesting and moving – especially those that died young or suddenly. I find them peaceful and often beautiful places.
