...I don't think there is a right and wrong here -- but though I love walking thru a graveyard with a camera -- I do shy away from photographing individual names -- unless the inscriptions are so weathered they become unreadable -- I don't think of myself as superstitious - but will sometimes tap a gravestone I have been standing near as if to say " sorry for disturbing you" .... I was in a very old cemetary last summer --- beautiful day -- cicadas droaning in the trees - dragonflys darting about -- and was in seventh heaven with my camera! - thought they should charge admission - yet I was the only "alive" one there -- wonder how many others her share these feelings.
