The Family, West Dover, Vermont, 2010

This grouping of gravestones offers a family history, with six of the seven bearing the name of Humphreys. The incongruity arrives in the form of a flag that calls attention to the military gravestone in this image, the only stone here with markings that are invisible to us. It adds a poignant touch to this family plot, which contains the remains of people who lived long (nearly 100 years) to short lives (nearly 35 years). The stones, just as the remains below them, are inert, yet the grass and wild flowers continue to thrive around them.
