A Photograph ::

Actually this was taken somewhere out around Cassatt last year on one of my trips where I revisited some sites of my long ago youth.



I have long been fascinated by these roadside monuments at the scene of accidental deaths of loved ones and I have a growing collection of images. I don't know who Marty Shirey was, but I probably knew some of his relatives who lived in this area. The smaller crosses at the foot of the larger one lead me to think that maybe this scene saw the death of a family.

This is near where my stepfather had an accident which we always felt eventually led to his fatal heart attack.
