Laurie Zuckerman shares her photos of anthropomorphic crosses from cemeteries in Hispanic New Mexico and Southern Colorado on this post. These naive handmade crosses are extremely unique and represent some of the oldest gravemarkers in the Southwest. They bridge the human aspects of death and Catholicism with their body-like forms. Please feel free to leave your comments and watch for new images each day.
My cemetery cross photo series is also linked to Rebecca Brooks' Recuerda Mi Corazon's blog hosting her series called "Stumbling Toward Ecstasy." Rebecca and I invite you to log on to her site:
