"Broken Hearted" oil painting on canvas.
I painted this when Rove McManus lost his wife Belinda. There is nothing more heart breaking than loosing a loved on, but there is Hope! ...in this painting the blue bird of happiness waits for the joker to look up... Thankfully in real life Rove has found love again.

Black and White photograph can bring out sadness; sometimes all of the kings horses can't put humpty-dumpty back together again.
I found this broken head stone in a graveyard near Slieve Gullion. Old graveyard, with the oldest stones reading dates as far back as 1704. There were grave stones there that looked even older, but the dates were no longer readable.
For Obscura Day, it was a trip to Fermilab, the geek Mecca in Batavia, Illinois.
Broken Symmetry, on the Pine Street Entrance. It's a three-span arch, painted black on one side and orange on the other.
Fermilab has decided to ban photography groups from taking tours. To quote Katie Yurkewicz, the Fermi PR person
"Our tour program is not designed to accommodate groups whose primary interest is photography. We are not resourced to be able to regularly guide such tours safely."
Took all of the pictures for this myspace. My friend justin did the layout and design stuff for it. Came out really good I think. =]
on the side of the mountain above the waterline cut I heard some water trickling. I dug the soil out around the sound and found a broken pipe. Where the water is coming from I have no clue and the fact that this pipe is above the waterline, just doesnt make any sense? and its halfway up the mountain with no path to it, this waterline has been long forgotten but it continues to supply water

I stumbled upon this cemetery (dates from 1840) while driving back from Wayne, IL on Army Trail Rd. in DuPage. You turn east on Petersdorf, then onto Smith and it's in the middle of a subdivision. This place is amazing...lots of old headstones.

I found these broken pieces of a headstone at the "graveyard of headstones" at Bispebjerg Cemetary. This is where even memories of the dead die.
A graveyard is any place set aside for long-term burial of the dead, with or without monuments such as headstones. It is usually located near and administered by a church.
Since the mid-1800s, the term cemetery has become a more popular label for most burying grounds.
Graveyards were usually established at the same time as the building of the relevant place of worship (which can date back to the 8th to 14th centuries) and were often used by those families who could not afford to be buried inside or beneath the place of worship itself. In most cultures those who were vastly rich, had important professions, were part of the nobility or were of any other high social status were usually buried in individual crypts inside or beneath the relevant place of worship with an indication of the name of the deceased, date of death and other biographical data. In Europe this was often accompanied with a depiction of their family coat of arms.
Most of middle or low social status others were buried in graveyards around the relevant church again divided by social status. Families of the deceased who could afford the work of a stonemason had a headstone carved and set up over the place of burial with an indication of the name of the deceased, date of death and sometimes other biographical data. Usually, the more writing and symbols carved on the headstone, the more expensive it was. As with most other human property such as houses and means of transport, richer families used to compete for the artistic value of their family headstone in comparison to others around it, sometimes adding a statue (such as a weeping angel) on the top of the grave.
Those who could not pay for a headstone at all usually had some religious symbol made from wood on the place of burial such as a Christian cross; however, this would quickly deteriorate under the rain or snow. Some families hired a blacksmith and had large crosses made from various metals put on the place of burial. Graveyards replaced by cemeteries
