Somewhere in Massachusetts (I think western), driving through in 1967 we
happened upon an old cemetery overgrown with weeds. One of the headstones was
for two brothers - one who died at age 12 and another at 21 a couple years
later. The epitaph on the stone read "Few and evil were their days". I've
wondered what a 12 year old kid could have done to deserve that remembrance.

I have photographed many small cemeteries in Massachusetts, where most of my
ancestors lived. I haven't been back there since I bought the K-70, so this
2004 example was taken with my 3.3 megapixel Sony Cybershot.

I am waiting for my brother to finish with his slide and film scanner. When I
get it I can post my earliest graveyard photo, taken with a Hanimex Praktika
around 1970.
