Beautiful!
The lettering always looks so sharp in your photos. Do you use a mirror, or just the available light?

I have a mirror, but most of the "Gravestones of the Day" are pictures where I just happened to luck into natural light. I have lots of photos with bad light, but they are hardly worth it, so I try to come back when the light is better if I can.
