Before And After

Beautiful portraits of a very unusual nature: before and after the subject's death.

Maybe I remembered the deaths of some loved ones, or maybe it's this fear of my own mortality*, but I found some of the accompanying words incredibly hard to read. Here's an example of what I mean.

*All you vicenarians, stop your snickering now. The thirties are different.

The potraits are great. Oh and please since when did fear of ones own morality apply only to people in their thirties?

The pix are great...really good...but it's a weird concept, isn't it?

szerelem: I know what you mean, but life in the twenties (or in the teens) does seem indestructible.

TR: indeedy.

Ghost: Hola! How do you mean "weird"?

(BTW, what is that picture? Are you a ninja now?)

szerelem, km:
i'm not sure whether people in their teens/twenties have more or less fears about their morality...

KM: Ninja? Crap! And I thought it was Shakespearean! But I guess you're right...from this angle it does look Ninja-ish. Crap! :-)

Weird...as in just being around till the person dies so that you can click...

TR: Yeah, morality totally sucks

km said...

LOL! I always thought teenagers have NO fear of their Morality, Molarity, Molality and Normality. Or their Ph value and Atomic Number.

Ghost: Shakespearean, eh? "Ninja" is so much cooler than "Bard" :)

ghost, km:
yeah, weird and cool are universal constants, like the number of avocados that a mole possesses.
