WILLIAM PICKTON - ALLEGED MURDER OF 26 EAST SIDE WOMEN OF VANCOUVER. (presumed innocent at this time) THIS IS DAY ONE OF THE ONE YEAR TRIAL. I TOOK THESE PHOTOS IN HEAVY RAIN WONDERING AMONG BIG TIME PRESS PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER. I WAS ABLE TO KEEP MY CAMERA DRY THANKS TO MY EVER HANDY ZIP- LOCK BAG. THE EVIDENCE NOW BEING RELEASED IS VERY TROUBLING.

THE PRESS AND RELATIVES OF THE VICTIMS

MOURNFUL SONG AND DRUMBEAT HONORING THE 27 DEAD

DEALERS (Main and Hastings)

I was inspired to take some photos of very old gravestones in a Vancouver cemetery after reading an article and seeing photos of gravestones taken by Andre Gallant at a Savannah Georgia cemetery and submitted to Photo-life magazine. What he said pretty well sums it up for me.
"SOME PHOTOGRAPHERS THINK THAT CEMETERIES ARE AN ODD PLACE IN WHICH TO PHOTOGRAPH, BUT I FIND THEIR TRANQUIL BEAUTY INSPIRING. WHETHER PHOTOGRAPHING AGING GRAVESTONES THAT PAY HOMAGE TO THE DEAD, TREES CASTING SHADOWS ---- I OFTEN LOSE MYSELF FOR HOURS, WANDERING ABOUT WITH MY CAMERA.
---- THESE SACRED GROUNDS ARE PART OF PEOPLE'S CULTURE; THEY ATTEST TO A PAST OFTEN RICH IN HISTORY "
