\"Cemetery\"A friend recently sent me this link<\/a>, which has some gorgeous photos of cemeteries but is down about two-thirds of the time. I decided to look around for other photography pages, and oh, there’s a lot of lovely stuff out there.<\/p>\n

In addition to the drinking-from-the-firehose results you get from searching for graveyard<\/a> or cemetery<\/a> on Flickr, there are many sites that specialize in this kind of photography. For instance:<\/p>\n

Graveyard and Dark Photography<\/a> – These are mostly black-and-white photos from the UK and Romania, along with some dark and unsettling portrait shots. The photographer sells prints, if you’d like some unique framed artwork.<\/p>\n

Northstar Gallery<\/a> – They describe their work as “sensuous, fine art,” and there are some lovely photographs. Mostly color, heavy on the statuary rather than tombstones.<\/p>\n

The Cyber-Cemetery<\/a> – Lots of artsy black-and-white images.<\/p>\n

Taphophilia<\/a> – In addition to photos, this site includes other funeral- and death-related curiosities.<\/p>\n

Gardens of Light, Dark, and Stone<\/a> – Some very pretty, evocative photos. There’s even a downloadable screensaver featuring some of the photographer’s favorites.<\/p>\n

There are also at least two webrings devoted to cemetery photography, here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’d be fun to cover a wall with a collection of framed graveyard photos. There should be plenty of inspiration here to get you started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
