Holy Sepulchre has always had the most responsive and helpful group of people of all the cemeteries in which I have researched. I have been there a number of times (not in the past 3 years), and have taken many pictures of many stones, including ones not my own, as "locators". So I hate to put forth this suggestion. I wonder if perhaps the men in trucks are looking for a bit of palm greasing. Perhaps they are not the fellows of old who were so helpful. Although the area is not the safest, the number of "weirdos" who might engage in grave photographing seems to me to be miniscule. What other reason might there be..........and there certainly was no sign in the front forbidding photography when I was there.

Unfortunately, some individuals tend to become intoxicated with a small sip of authority. We have all encountered them in our quest for ancestors! How does photography damage a headstone? I'm sure Grandpa Moses and his widow (who probably paid for the monument) would object. How on earth can a cemetery enforce this policy? Is the perpetrator subject to arrest, a beating or confiscation of the camera? A lawyer could have a field day! I am generally respectful, but do not follow rules that are nonsense. And yes, I bring my own popcorn to the theatre! Beverly G.
