Highway 26

This memorial is for a family of 5 on a South Carolina highway. This was carefully made with five crosses with the names of the victims. When I came across it I had to cross three lanes of traffic at 80 mph to stop with enough time to park and walk back to the location. It had recently been decorated with balloons and flowers for the 3rd birthday of a child.

This was a devasting scene to photograph. I spotted it from a distance because the bright color in the sunshine was arresting. I had to quickly cross three lanes at very high speed to safely stop near this. When I finally was alone with the sound of the speeding trucks and the calm forest behind the scene was searingly painful. I often feel conflicted lifting my camera.
