Despite being advised by a friend not to continue with this series after the first photo, i did. It is a short series which really comments on the cycle of life, only choosing to photograph animals rather than humans because humans hide their dead so well.
What i was trying to communicate here was that death is a part of life and is always around us. When we start to look we can see it everywhere.
I am not particularly saddened by the death of animals, but human death i find disturbing. I have seen a dead human body once only and it did not look natural, like these animal deaths do.
I plan to advance this by looking more closely at decay.
Hi Laura,
ReplyDeleteWe both share a taste for the
macabre. I've also seen a human
corpse, I was totally horrified.
Dead animals, decay and graveyards
interest me very much.
It's always a pleasure to read your
blog and admire your work.
Have a beautiful day.
Mark
Thanks Mark, I look at your blog sometimes, but a lot of writing often overwhelms me when not in a book. :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you like to read my blog.
I can't say i was horrified to see a corpse, more shocked, sort of horribly fascinated.
