Since I'm a doctor, I find myself eerily attracted to this tombstone of one of my profession who died in 1768. He was only 42. The poignant poem reads: "No longer ye physician's art avails, But every remedy its master fails."
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
Wow, that is a fitting epitath. Many old stones seem far more personal than the newer ones.
