Shots 1 and 4 stand out. They're a little different than the Gothic, scary, moody cemetery shots we always see; it's good to see human interaction in the graveyard.

The tonal quality of your images is impressive and provides an excellent sense of dimension and volume. The content itself is interesting in that it's not your average photographic motiv but resolves some of the PC issues with a great visual representation of the beauty of life after death. The gothic influence is strongly evoked in the 3rd image simply with the full framed content, though it appears somewhat tempered down in other images as well.
The gothic one (#3) is nice indeed but my favorite is #4. The contrast between the life and death is beautifully captured there.....
Intriguing shots Rion.
Lovely tones.
I love the new layout. And as always, love your black and white pics.
Wow this place is as crowded and crammed as any suburban housing track in Orange County. Do the buried interlock arms? Well it 's still a great place to makeout!!!
