I agree that the tombstone is the source and the cemetery is the repository,
and the photo is a recorded image of the source. If the photo is from someone
else then you just cite the photo with the creator/owner of the photo and date
if known.

My "two cents worth" probably isn't worth that amount these days but isn't this
all just a matter of semantics?
Although they have certainly been known to have errors, isn't tombstone the
source?  The photo, to me, is only a means of recording that source, so that
I have a record of what's actually shown there.

If I took the photo then I have seen the tombstone so my information is
coming from the tombstone itself. I take a photograph to record for
myself what I saw. If you take a photograph than I am actually getting
the data from you through a photographic media. I would cite to you as
the source. Likewise, if you wrote down your observations and posted it
on the internet I would still cite to you.

What is the difference between a photo you took and a photo someone
else took?

Photos of tombstones that I take are not sources but merely my
memorial
of the source. No different that the cemetery survey notes that I
write
down while at the cemetery. It is the tombstone which is the source.
On
the other hand, photographs of tombstones taken by others are the
source which I properly cite to the photographer using the Chicago
Manual's style.
