>What happens when the tombstone is no longer there and you have a photograph >taken prior to its disappearance (theft, vandalism, sunk in ground)? Your source always is where you got your data. If I get my data from you - whether by photograph, manuscript or even personal interview - then you are my source. I would include in a parenthetical where you got the information. As a matter of general practice, I include a citation in the metadata of my photographs with myself as the photographer. >would I change my source from being the actual stone to the >photograph since future generations can no longer access it, or just make note >that the stone is gone which is what I now I would do the latter because your source is the stone. Future generations need to cite to your photograph. But include as much information as possible in the citation.
