Student Photographs -- Symbols and Images.


  1. This was found on the back of someone's headstone right in the middle of Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers territory. Definitely an indication of a true fan!



  2. A grieving angel, seen here from the front and in the next photo from the back.



  3. Loss, grief, loneliness, anguish, devastation -- these are symbolized for all faiths, all belief systems, by this angel.



  4. This may not show up clearly, but there are two symbols engraved on this marker that are worthy of note for students of gender roles and secular imagery. Above the wife's name, we see an electric sewing machine. And above the husband's name, we see an electric drill. The inscription reads, "Two Hearts In Love Forever."
