Product Description
Thousands visit New Orleans' cemeteries each year to see the arresting above-ground tombs. Sandra Russell Clark's spellbinding collection of photographs captures art, poetry, history, spirit, and humanity, as well as the solid substance of stone, marble, and wrought iron. The ethereal and tangible are one in these photo images, truly the meeting grounds between the living and the dead. 150 duotones .

4.0 out of 5 stars Not your ordinary book of photographs, February 8, 1999
By A Customer
The ethereal infrared photography meshed with the insightful narrative is fascinating, not only for the art but for the history of New Orleans. As a genealogist, I am no stranger to learning from the dead. This book, however, teaches about a culture far removed from my North Carolina Scottish roots.
