Near the Slovenian border and within the Italian town of Gorizia, is the shrine of Oslavia, a memorial dedicated to the fallen soldiers of the First World War. This castle-like ossuary contains the remains of 57,200 Italian soldiers, 36,440 of them unknown. Many were casualties of the 12th Battle of the Isonzo, also known as Caporetto. The shrine also contains the bones of 539 Austro-Hungarian troops.
Completed in 1938, the shrine consists of a fortress-like circular tower above a flight of steps, with three lower circular bastions flanking it on either side and behind, and connected by underground passages. The names of the identified dead line the walls of the four internal circular chambers. A tall black marble cross is in the middle of the central tower. Below in the crypt is the tomb of General Achille Papa (killed on the Bainsizza on 5th October 1917) and of twelve other holders of the Medaglia d’Oro al Valor Militare.
I guess I've had an off-and-on love affair with photography my whole life. My father was always taking pictures and movies when I was a kid growing up on Long Island, NY in the 1950s-60s, and he gave me my own Kodak Brownie camera when I was around 6 years old.

Photography moved to the back burner during high school, college, and law school, but I picked it up again after I graduated law school in 1979, moved to Washington DC, and began my legal career with the federal government. Being alone in a new city, I would take my camera wherever I went, and I was soon making my own prints in...
