“When I bought my very first quality SLR camera back in 1974, that was a special day. The first place I photographed was Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I already had an appreciation for the large ornate granite and marble monuments found there. Since that time I have photographed many graveyards in the United States, Mexico, England, Ecuador, Peru, Japan, Italy and Hungary. My interest increases with each visit. Cemeteries are like a park or a sculpture garden filled with artwork and mysterious clues to the past.” -HMC
