Happy Holidays All!
I must say that I am truly amazed and humbled by the support and positivity toward my (self admitted) unique style of photography. I am so glad that so many people are enjoying what I love to do. The Comments mean a lot to me and validates the beauty that I have always attributed to these places. I will respond to everyone's individual questions, but may take a few days...... there are quite a few! I will hopefully be able to wonder around some new cemeteries over the holiday break and add some new pics.
Thank you to all those who have sent me their own "favorite" burial grounds, they will certainly have a visit from me!
If you want to join the mailing list with updates and new info, please send me a message directly from my website. ALL MESSAGES TO ME ARE PRIVATE and I will NEVER use them for SPAM or sell your emails....... its not how I do things!
Regards ~jackter

For as long as I can remember, I have always found cemeteries to be beautiful, serene and inspiring. This helped steer me to my 17 year career as a funeral director and embalmer. I enjoyed every day I was able to be paid to do something that I loved and received unmatched fulfillment from. Unfortunately, a back injury ended my fairy tale career path.
In the time since, I have rediscovered the art and science of photography. During my high school years, I loved all aspects of photography, from taking photos to developing my own film and printing my own shots. As college, career and family took up my time; photography took a back seat............ until about a year ago.
I naturally began "dusting off the photo cobwebs" in a setting in which I felt comfortable and knew the beauty that was just beyond the scope of the casual observer....... my beloved cemeteries.
By chance I had posted some of my unique photos online and the response was tremendous. The amount of feedback and support ignited a spark in me. Needless to say, here I am.
My passion is to capture the beauty of these sacred places which comes in all shapes and sizes. I especially am thrilled when I am fortunate enough to capture the pure energy of a site, a true testament of the lives that these physical monuments represent.
I hope you enjoy the photographs as much as I have taking them.
