It doesn't just have to be of famous people (but they are usually the only ones we take photos of). A few years back I visited a small town in southern NSW (Australia) and there was an alarmingly high number of infant and child graves. When we stopped in the pub later, I enquired to one of the 'oldies' that looked like they were part of the furniture, and they said that there was an epidemic of some sort at the time. It was interesting to follow the clues left behind. Nice blog. I'll be back!
