About This Website

This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

Can you picture life and ignore picturing death?

To be perfectly clear about what I mean by "death", I don't mean "horrific" death by war, disaster, atrocity, or any other form of "horrific" death, all of which have been pictured on a fairly regular basis ever since the inception of photography - I mean just plain old everyday "ordinary" death.

BTW & FYI, the caricature in the picture above is by long-time friend and Landscapist commenter Jimmi Nuffin.
