My work in photography, history and genealogy speaks for itself in numerous photographs and comments found on this FAG site. In October 2015 I began traveling the country to track down and photograph then clean and photograph again the headstones of the first four generations of McClellans in America. The original Scottish McClellan immigrants, Robert, 1716-1789 and Nicola Gordon McClellan, 1732-1799 landed at New York Harbor on August 30, 1774 (245th year anniversary in 2019), with six children in tow. This project took me to Florida in the south, Maine in the north and as far west as Ohio, and in between six other states. In all I photographed and cleaned some 353 headstones and a small overgrown, abandoned cemetery in Mississippi which contained the headstone of my Great Grandmother Mollie McClellan, 1831-1867. This project was one of the most difficult, challenging and profoundly moving experience of my life.
All of the photographs in this project were made by me through the use of very hard work, termendous patience and natural available lighting. No mirrors, chaulk, shaving cream or photoshop were employed in the entirety of the project.
