Woodford, Virginia

Photographic Portraiture:  In some small way, photographs on tombstones keep the dead among the living. Here, we have a name with dates of birth and death. We also have a picture to draw us into the life world of the deceased. To that, add emblems of her talent and an utterance from her mouth. We are even able to call her by her nickname – as if she had been a friend. Mount Lawn Cemetery. [2012]
