Click on this link: http://brittle-bones.com/[^] Yes, this is a blatant repost, but it is by far the coolest site i've seen in a long while, and Andreas' post[^] has long scrolled from view in The Lounge. If you are offended 'cause this post has nothing new in it, and aren't able to appreciate my motives, then click here[^] and pretend that was the point.

Good link. This is one of the best sites I've seen in a while. "Veni, Vidi, Booyah!" - Ceasar

This guy has made a career out of taking photos of corpses, hermaphrodites, circus freaks and other disturbing things. He gets away with it because he clearly has a talent for arranging the elements of his shots, taking great photographs, and of making great prints from them. And if you can handle the subjects, you can (maybe) find some of his stuff beautiful. It might be a bit much for some people. So, if you're at all squeamish, I strongly discourage you from following these links. http://www.zonezero.com/exposiciones/fotografos/witkin/jpwitkin1.html[^] http://www.riccomaresca.com/C/ARTISTS/Photo/Witkin.htm[^] -c

Ouch. I thought that I was pretty non-squeamish but the first picture on the first site changed my mind pretty quickly. Not necessarily the content of the picture but the composition it was very powerful. "Veni, Vidi, Booyah!" - Ceasar

" I think that what makes a photograph so powerful is the fact that, as opposed to other forms, like video or motion pictures, it is about stillness. I think the reason a person becomes a photographer is because they want to take it all and compress it into one particular stillness. When you really want to say something to someone, you grab them, you hold them, you embrace them. That's what happens in this still form. "

Wow. Thanks Chris, good links.
