Thank you Norris for you detailed explanation. I had never really considered all the information you suggest. Thank you, as I have taken photos of family gravestones in Iowa, Kansas, Alberta, Oregon, Washington, and??? I am 92 now, so may not get all sourcing done, but I appreciate your analysis of this matter. Laura

I would suggest you re-evaluate the concept of "sourcing" a photograph, but rather consider the three prong approach: 1) The fact (the person was buried and what the inscription says and who else buried in the plot). 2) The "thing" that makes you consider this fact to be true - in this case: your personal observation of headstones in this cemetery 3) The location of this "thing" - unless it is self-explanatory from the fact or the "thing" that supports the fact - where can you find it. In this case, I would suggest: Your fact is a burial, in a cemetery, with a given inscription, and nearby graves. Your source is: "Personal cemetery visit by L. Smith on 04/10/2016" (or the date could be in the citation, not the source). Your location (of the burial) and associated info is evident from what you enter into the fact: Cemetery name, headstone inscription, headstone location (gps if possible, or directions of the cemetery and within the cemetery. Some software offers different places for this info - or within entry boxes within the source itself. The photograph itself? It's simply a media item attached to this citation for this source. It doesn't require "sourcing", although info for the date and photographer should be entered in the software in an appropriate spot; so that info can be revealed if the photo is disclosed in a web page or report.

Am I the repository (because I have the photograph), or is the the cemetery the repository (because they have the grave the actual grave marker)? Thanks everyone!
