Whilst I agree that there is a taboo about death, my points are directed at the activity of mourning – and the desire to record same.
Got to admit, I didn’t see it as mourning-
perhaps because of the dates shown-
I saw it more as remembering, and including them in the record of the day.As for that thread you wanted to see John-

I was hoping for the Graveyard and Urns edition Joseph.

I’m trying to get into Johns head here (scary place!) and question if I’d like my image in similar circumstances posted here and the answer would be a definite no…but I wouldn’t want it taken in the first place. On my own wedding day my wife went to the grave of her brother on her own – it was a personal moment for her. So I can understand the viewpoint. My only pivotal point in not condemning its placement here is the assumed permission of the subject. And there are many more images of a distasteful nature posted all across this wonderful medium that permission was the last thing on the subjects mind.
