Little Gay Lawson

“I’ll just lie down flat on the ground to get this shot. I won’t get any bug bites or anything, since I won’t be here long.”
-my internal dialog, immediately prior to making this image of Little Gay Lawson’s headstone.

“Holy crap! Look at that spider.”
-my internal dialog when I first looked at this image on my computer and saw that spider on the left side of the headstone’s base.

Mrs. Wyatt F. Clements

Those little gravemarkers with lambs on top are sad – they mark the grave of a very young child.

But this one struck me as even sadder. Poor Mrs. Clements died without her own name, forever obscured by her husband’s.
