Images of remembrance
As someone who also shares that rather morose
hobby of photographing cemeteries, it was difficult not to respond
to Mary Shaw's invitation to share images in order to compare
how the dead are commemorated around the world.
1 In these instances:
in stone in the crowded old Jewish cemetery in Prague (top left);
with images and flowers on Venezia's Cimeteria (top right);
and in this stupa (a Buddhist religious monument) in Siem Reap
as a stark reminder of the genocide perpetrated by the Khmer
Rouge in Cambodia (bottom left).
