Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Pretty good epitaph... "He was kind". Think that's my favourite of these - really good angle of composition.

Good idea to look for unusual epitaphs. Its a fine set, quite a few of us on this forum like to lurk in graveyards, there's got to be a rational explanation for that.

These are terrific epitaphs, Kris. Nice shots too, as usual. Glad I'm not the only one who pokes about in country churchyards with his Pentax.
I'm taking twenty kids on a photoshoot to the town cemetery in June, it'll be interesting to see what they make of it.

Brevity is, without doubt, more poignant than verbosity. What could be more touching than "I love you"? (Note the unconscious use of the present tense.)

And how many of us could wish for any remembrance better than "He was kind"?
Best wishes,

Andrew
