I have been asked several times, Why have a tombstone photo web site with all the info posted on the web about cemeteries. I am not try to take anything away from surveying a cemetery because I have "been there and done that". I know what it is to wade thru knee deep grass, briars and bushes looking for another tombstone and more. I [with others] had to take the time to find someone to lead us to an abandoned cemetery, only to find out we had been within 20 to 50 feet from it before durning a 1/2 day trip looking for it. My personal opinion is; Looking at photo of one of my ancesters names on a tombstone makes it much more personal than looking at the same name on a printed list. I guess it proves the old saying "one picture is worth a thousand works" I agree there are those persons, who want nothing more than a printed list. That is their right and which must be respected. But I am in the group that wants a little more. Last, but not least: Takeing tombstone photos with modern digital cameras "lets you see what you are going to get before you get it". So you can be sure, you have the best photo of the tombstone as possible. Sure beats one or more persons trying to figure out what is written on the tombstone, while standing in the hot sun, waist deep in bushes and briars and not knowing if you are standing inches from a rattlesnake or not. In hindsight, I guess the person was right, when I was told, you are crazy to go out there in those bushes and briars just to record names on a tombstone."
