I had already photographed this church and its historic graveyard during my 2013 visit to Charleston. http://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/152095149) I decided to go back to it once more during this very brief 2014 visit. This time, the graveyard incongruously proved busier than usual. A wedding event seemed in the offing – clusters of tuxes echoing joyful banter, oblivious to the ranks of tombstones behind them. My vantage point for this image best tells the story. I fill three quarters of my frame with the graveyard and leave only a quarter of the frame for the living. A wedding may well represent a significant stage in the life cycle. However, this image infers that weddings are but a small landmark in time, when compared to eternity itself.
