I have chosen Jen Rinaldi to be my first photographer for my question on Nursery Rhymes. Jen Rinaldi specialises in new-born babies, children, maternity, family, engagements and weddings.

I will be looking at her photos that have been taken in cemeteries. Her photos are often of statues in cemeteries, such as cherubs. If a cemetery had loads of spiked fences and moss covered grave stones a cemetery wouldn’t be a nice place to be. Having statues such as cherubs, the Virgin Mary and Jesus seems to make a graveyard a less horrible place to be.

I think that nursery rhymes do this as well as beautiful statues. For example ring-a-ring of roses is a nice nursery rhymes that children have fun singing but it is really about the black death that killed between 75 and 200 million people.
