“There is no death.”
The back of this elaborate tomb was engraved with a quote from Elizabeth Parker, who said, “There is no death. There is no forever gone.”
It is on her own tombstone, and she died in 2011, at age 16.

Fountain
A detail of the hotel’s fountain, which was a popular place for photos. On Saturday morning, as guests were arriving for a wedding, there was practically a line of dressed-up folks ready to pose for the camera. Or phone.

The Goal
I’ve been through Fort Sumner, New Mexico, hundreds of times. And never once left the main route through town. So last spring, when I was returning home from a photography weekend with a friend, I did it: I drove down a couple of side streets.
I saw this. And stopped to photograph it.
And heard a very loud argument coming from a nearby house. Maybe you’ve heard this kind of argument – where you can’t quite make out the words, but the emotions are quite clear. Anyway, it seemed like maybe leaving right away was in my best interest, as I didn’t really feel like getting caught up in a gunfight* or anything.
But now I’m intrigued by what else might need photographed…
