Woman

marthagraveyard1_web This is one of two photographs that, more than any others, really began to convince me that this was what I wanted to do with my life. I spent one of the best afternoons of my life wandering around the Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris and came home with this haunting photo that still, every time I look at it, pierces me to the core somehow. It began a life-long fascination with gorgeous cemeteries. I don't know why this isn't framed and hanging in my home...perhaps I should go home and remedy that one day. I would also like to go back to Paris, search the cemetery, and see if I can't find it again even though I know that would be nearly impossible. Does anyone want to come with me?
