sorabji.com : weekly grave

This series of gravesite photos is an offshoot of my cemetery photography. Here I find a grave site and transcribe it as accurately as I can. This is with the hope that this content will be useful to genealogists or family treetracers who might find this content through search or random means. I have other series of pictures focusing on specific themes, including Pictures of Umbrella Carcasses, Old Telephone Numbers, Found Photos and Slides, and others.

My other photo projects
Umbrellas is a years-long series (begun in 2010) of photos featuring umbrellas destroyed, mangled, massacred, or otherwise left for waste. Check back Monday and Thursdays for a new umbrella picture.

Telephone Exchange Names is an ongoing collection of old phone number sightings. If you don't know what Telephone Exchanges are then check it out, I think they're pretty cool.

A Weekly Grave is an offshoot of my cemetery photography. Once a week I share a photo of a grave site with a complete transcription of its inscriptions. My goal is for some of these pictures and their transcriptions to be of value to a genealogist or family tree researcher somewhere.

Found Photos and Slides is where I share from my collection of old photos and slides. You never know what you might see here, but it might be something you recognize. I post highlights and previews from this series at sorabji.tumblr.com.

Abandoned Baby Carriages is a photo essay on the discarded things of a child. This started as a series focused on baby strollers and carriages and has evolved to include discarded toys and other child gear left for trash.
