GALLERY :: Remembered, Pet Cemetery, Presidio, San Francisco, California, 2007


Tucked beneath the freeway approach to the Golden Gate Bridge in the former Army Installation called The Presidio is a small pet cemetery. Pets provide love and are loved. This is quite a touching place to visit.

To those of us who are animal lovers, this gallery is a very special expression of loyalty and love. The pet cemetery is a very unique place and even for those of us who are uncomfortable visiting cemeteries, a very special experience. Your images poignantly capture that experience.

The death of a beloved pet is often as painful and emotional as the loss of human life. Your images of this cemetery are poignant and often haunting. A common sense of loss runs through all of them. By focusing on the sentiments expressed on the graves, you tell us that this cemetery, as alI cemeteries, is meant more for the living than the dead. I also came away with many similar images, but I ultimately chose to use only a single image from this strange place. Like you did in your first and fifth images here, I used the interplay of darkness and light to express the positive memories amidst the dark loss. In my image, athttp://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/80826150 , the wooden grave markers lean in various directions, as if they can't make up their mind whether to stand or fall.
