New Project - Roadside Memorials

I have started a new project called Roadside Memorials. I want to document the crosses and other symbols placed in memory of lost ones along the side of the road. These are temporary pieces of history. Either by neglect, weather or rules that demand they be removed after a specified amount of time, they too become lost to history.

Many monuments and memorials across our country remind us of fallen soldiers, great leaders or dramatic events. The crosses and shrines that we see along our roads are much more personal. They memorialize friends, families and loved ones. People who may not be as visible to the general public but are definitely not forgotten by the people who knew them.


I have started a blog called Roadside Memorials where every week I will be presenting a new memorial found along the roadside.
