I have a friend who is a psychiatrist and I asked her about people who seem to have an obsession with things related to the dead. I asked her how a professional would view that sort of thing.
She just told me I really didn't want to know the answer to that.
That's very cool. Thanks for sharing this info. If you have any stories to share, please do. Photographer Sally Mann did a photography book called "What Remains." [link]
I've seen the book at the store but haven't bought it yet. It deals with death, photographically.
Speaking of movies, have you seen the Canadian film, "Kissed"? [link]
It is about a girl obsessed with death, but in a good way.
Perhaps having to think about mortality causes so many people to be squeamish about death, but if one has a healthy sense of things, it all makes sense, doesn't it?

i love your work. i have a great appresheation for it because i live on a cemetary and my dad does autopsys. so im around death all the time, so i learn to see the beauty in it, and to respect it. thank you for capturing it so beautifully.
It's trickier than it looks. People look at my stuff and say 'oh, I could do that. It's the city he's in.' However, there are others shooting in Detroit and there work is very different. Some are good, some not. Mostly though what I see is drive-by shots, people who stop in front of a ruined home and take a Polaroid type shot of it, and move on to the next. But I think shooting Detroit and shooting cemeteries is more about a certain inner vision than what's there. I have to admit, on both accounts, I am very fortunate for what I have available regarding subject matter. I grew up here and know the area, and have watched it change drastically over the years. I care about the city and the people. I think that has something to do with it, too.

The funny thing is I do not particularly have an apocalyptic vision of the world. LOL. Maybe I would discover I did if I underwent intense psychoanalysis with a registered psychiatrist.

Your pics are fine. Keep at it. I don't know what happened, but suddenly I went from shooting group shots of stones like most people, to exploring the cemeteries in different ways. I think it has A LOT to do with spending so many hours pouring over collections of photos (books) and absorbing some of it.
