Personally I don't have a problem with taking images of old (emphasis on OLD) gravestones....or posting them, even if the name is visible. But I won't/don't take images of new graves.... just doesn't feel right to me. I was once in a cemetary where I was asked by security (some very rich/famous/influential dead people are buried there) to not take photos out of respect for the families.... but all I was really doing was taking pictures of the monumental statuary.... I didn't care about who was buried underneath them and I wasn't showing the names... sigh

I am, therefore I create.......
