grave diggers.




i saw bud and kevin standing behind their work truck from a distance as i passed memorial gardens cemetery in my car the other day while looking for a feature. it's one of those times when you kick yourself in the balls and force yourself to turn around despite feeling funny and a little disrespectful. truth is they were more than okay with me being there and taking pictures. i didn't realize bud only had one leg until the moment i shot that frame. i didn't even notice the limp, hell it doesn't effect his grave digging abilities. the guys explained to me that they don't normally hand dig graves, but that this one was for a set of stillborn twins and the coffin was small. both admitted that children's funerals are the toughest.
