Greetings, all! With this weekend being Memorial Day, and several of you will be traveling to cemeteries, I would like to suggest that you take a digital camera with you, and take some photos of the tombstones in the cemeteries that you visit. Small cemeteries can easily be covered by one person, but larger cemeteries would need several people to take photos. Perhaps we need some coordination here, but mostly I think people could just go out and take some photos. If coordination is needed, I would be willing to try to keep tabs on who's doing what, at least for Albemarle County; I don't know if I am ready to try to keep tabs on what everyone is doing in the whole state! :) This is just an idea I'm floating/proposing, since cemeteries usually look their best at Memorial Day, and it usually isn't too hot yet to be out. There is at least one website posting photos of Virginia cemeteries (don't have the website info with me at the moment, but I can track it down), so there is somewhere to put all these photos once we gather them. I personally am looking at the possibility of going down to North Garden or Scottsville to take photos, but will relenquish those sites if someone else desires to do them. My camera gets about 400 VGA-size photos on each 32MB compact-flash(tm) memory card (I have two), so I should be able to get through one cemetery at least. Batteries will be the thing to remember to take. :) If enough interest is generated, I will post a list of what cemeteries are scheduled to be covered, on Saturday or Sunday, so everyone will know what is going on by Monday. If there is no interest, well, then I'll let this die, and continue covering cemeteries as I get time. Sorry to be so long-winded, but I'm just throwing some thoughts onto the screen.
