I try to take the time to photograph the graves of other families whether they have a connection or not to my genealogy history. Though our family has the surnames Keller and Wright, I do not know if these burial plots are connected to our history.
In addition to photographing "familiar" names, I also like to photograph any burial plot that is interesting and/or unusual. Believe it or not, some of the most "architectural beauty" around is in cemeteries, especially if the cemetery is old. Whitemarsh Memorial Park does not have the extraordinary artwork as Laurel Hill or other such-like Victorian Era Cemeteries, but it does have a simple peaceful feel in its surrounding grounds.
