Title:The Visitation: His Mother's Son This image is one from a series entitled “The Visitation.”-- Visiting a cemetery evokes a sense of wonder about the lives of those who have passed. What were their fleeting pleasures, private perils, lessons learned and guarded secrets? Who were their heroes and what did they dedicate themselves to on earth? Our graveyards represent not only our families, but also soldiers, nurses, teachers, dancers, sportsmen, lovers, philosophers, artists and innocent victims. Combined, they represent our ancestral humanity. With this series of photographs I bring my personal vision of the cemetery to life. From the simple beauty of a grave marker to the ornate marble architecture of historic mausoleums, I respectfully render the graveyard, bathed in beautiful light, with the presence of loved ones and unsung heroes.
