I picked up a camera this past Christmas, hoping to start a hobby to help me relax. As a sidebar I decided to try and fill some of the photo requests I saw on FaG. I also am very active, so I enjoy walking the yards looking for the stones. I'm finding this is a great way to get my mind off things. I have to concentrate on each stone I pass; consider if it matches one on my list, I don't think about my troubles when I'm out.

Additionally as I pass by and read each stone, the person who's grave it is, is noticed again. Only for a moment, but maybe the first time in many, many years.

I don't know how long this hobby will last, a lot is going on for me, but at least for now I can help fill some gaps for some people.
