What do the Dead See?

Faithful reader and occasional author at In Repose, Jamie Sue Austin, sent me this link: Skull Camera.

To be sure, in the main, the first observation is to peg the art as gimmicky.

But objects DO carry energy, make no mistake about that. Bones contain the once living cells of a human soul and I have no doubt they influence the resulting photographic work in some way.

Jamie Sue called the photographs hauntingly beautiful.

Agreed.

I love this artist's collection. All of his camera/photo collections are very interesting. They walk a very fine line between being exploitative kitsch and poignantly introspective. I find it VERY difficult to know which side of the fence his works are on and that is a delight unto itself. I have a feeling that I would have to actually know the guy to be able to decide if he should be taken seriously or not. Regardless, all of his works contain tremendous aesthetic value.

Hey Candace! If you care about me you'll edit the grammar on that comment so I will be shielded from further embarrassment. I think my commenting license should be revoked after midnight. :P

OK I did. All I did was add one word. ha ha. It reads fine to me now, does it to you? By the way, "after midnight comments" seem not only appropriate for In Repose, but ones I think I would like to encourage!
:D
