What got you into photographing gravestones?
Boy that's the question. I saw your question a couple of weeks ago? But I couldn't answer it because it's complex. I think my parents might have been interested in old cemeteries and they may have even done grave rubbings. I did grave rubbings for awhile but I stopped because I learned they can damage old gravestones. I started to love the art on old graves. Then I realized I could capture the art without harming the grave just by taking a picture. That was the seed. It grew into a mission to photograph as many burial grounds and cemeteries as I can. And I love to photograph so much more. Ruins. Old cars. The sky. Clouds. Autumn. Angels and Demons has been around for 9 years now. During that time I've seen so much beauty and have learned so much about the ancient customs of death. OK I'm rambling so I'll stop now. Thanks for the question! Take care-

The Haunted 1000 Steps at Greenwood Cemetery
According to local legend, the staircase at the Greenwood Cemetery in Spokane, Washington is more than just a little haunted. If you walk up the stairs without any lights on, you will see the faces of men, women and children when you reach the top. Those brave enough to climb the stairs will also hear the shrieks and cries of the dead and they will feel something to rain on their skin.
Supposedly the site of satanic rituals, the staircase was dubbed 1000 steps because nobody can make it to the top according to the legend. The stairs lead from the side of an access road up to the cemetery. Renovations made years ago have rendered the staircase unnecessary and it sits decaying and rarely used by standard visitors stopping to spend time with the cemetery’s residents.
A second tale about the staircase leads people to believe the steps once led to a tunnel entrance. Though this isn’t true, it’s easy to see why people who simply drive by the cemetery might think as such. There’s a large mausoleum at the top of the stairs in disrepair that, from a distance and looking through overgrowth, could appear to be a bricked-over tunnel entrance.
