Nuclear Nightmares: 2o Years Since Chernobyl
Donno why, but I'm obsessed with Chernobyl. Haunting images of it make me... Not happy, but... Well, I guess you could say happy for lack of any other word. Yes, I may be a sicko, but at least I'm a interesting sicko.
Nineteenth Century Images of Albinism
This has nothing to do with my looking up to Johnny or Edgar Winter, nor do I have an obsession with people with albinism. I just love old photographs, and for some reason, the subject of albinism is controversial. Perhaps to all of you who see people with albinism as an entirely different race (and yes, there are people out there who believe this), I just want to throw this in your face and freak you out.
Side Note: My god, I want to play with this man's hair! <3>
Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep
Dead babies.
Yeah, you don't want to hear that. No one does. And no one wants to see that. If you search the web for dead babies, you'll be led to numerous shock sites with disturbing images. This is not one of them.
Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep is a non-profit organization that's working to bring back the tradition of Victorian postmortem photography. People refer to Victorian postmortem photography as Momento Mori, meaning "remember you will die." NILMDTS's (and most Victorian postmortem) photographs are not meant to make you realize you mortality, but they are done for the families of the dead as a beautiful memory of a beautiful life cut short. Of all the few modern postmortem photographers that are out there, anyone who works with NILMDTS is a noble and wonderful person to help in creating a beautiful memorial for those beautiful short lives.

Amazing and beautiful black and white photography.
I'll post more when I find them.
