An Odd Cemetery ::
I have been photographing in cemeteries for the past 30 years, or so, and I find them to be endlessly fascinating places. I have driven by this particular one for years without stopping in until just a few months ago. The cemetery has specific segments. There is a place for veterans, there is a place for catholics, there is a place for muslims. You get the idea, but there is this one area set aside for babies only and I found this to be somehow oddly disturbing, but I don't know why! Help me out here.

Infant graves disturb all people, I think, on at least some level. My simple thought would be that perhaps in such high concentration the graves evoke a realization of the magnitude of so many unfulfilled lives.
