****, it is way too creepy to look at these. It's like I'm killing them with a mouse click.
 
death robs them of beauty ..they're so ...lifeless (duh)

i really don't percieve it that way.. the circumstances around their deaths are visceral, and it's such a profound visual in a sense, it's hard even to realize that they're dead just by looking at some of the photos
 
Disturbing as hell. Absolutely amazing though.
 
I dont know but I closed the window

that proof we are weaker of mind that we thought
 
Wat's with the necrophile-ism-ish attitude of the photographers in that thingy.


Looking at dead people makes me feel uncomfortably uncomfortable.
 
Wow, sort of interesting to read all of them, but even though they're just peoples bodies before and after death, I was still kind of uncomfortable looking at them all.
 
I wasn't uncomfortable with the pictures at all, but the captions at the right affected me a bit.

Wow, this brings out incredibly unknown emotion.
After the first few you get used to it, and you can see it through an artistic approach rather than a feared one.


I still say Lisa Mcpherson has the most horrifying death photos... *chills*


There is an artist I once found who did artistic photography with partially decayed corpses. Incredibly surreal.

Don't take this too serious, but

it is necessary if we want to further advance in the better portrayal of Zombies in movies and games.

Sounds like something Hitler from Castle Wolfenstien [1] would say.


K, I'm gonna look at dead bodies, BRB

has truth to it, certainly. When my brother was in school for special effects/make up he had to look at photos of real dead bodies.

Did he have to kill them first?

Because I think I would have a problem with that.


BTW Pics!


I'm going to have a nice cup of coffee, listen to death metal, and really soak in this dead body 'orgy', if you will.


(I'm worried I'll be permanently ****ed after seeing this. For all my joking is merely how I deal with it)

I remember I went to a friend's open casket funeral, and I'll never forget his face (I suppose that is the point) But he wasn't alive anymore, and it did **** with me for a good few years.
 
Death metal and death dont even relate to each other.

I is serious, look at Lisa Mchperson autopsy photos if you want to be horrified. The initial link only shows you her hands/back, you have to click another link and an agreement to see her actual portraits. Absolutely chilling. Probably should have never done further research on her.

OK. But I only want to have nightmares and forever be changed, shocked and horrified because I just want to feel something new or rarely felt. Not because I'm sick and twisted - but that too.

Not even Doom music.

1) Nonsense.
2) should I listen to Peter Gabriel - Shock the Monkey?
2) perhaps I should Play Madonna - Like a Virgin
3) What difference does it make?
4) I laughed at "like a virgin" while browsing corpses

I looked at them and I don't really know why, but I shouldn't have.... I don't quite know how to respond after seeing those, it's just so hard to believe that someone could "change" that much.

Extreme body makeover anyone?:E
 
Second portrait:
January 14 2003
On one visit Gerda said, ?It won?t be long now?, and was panic-stricken. Her daughter tried to console her, saying: ?Mummy, we?ll all be together again one day.? ?That?s impossible,? Gerda replied. ?Either you?re eaten by worms or burned to ashes.? ?But what about your soul?? her daughter pleaded. ?Oh, don?t talk to me about souls?, said her mother in an accusing tone. ?Where is God now??

Where is your God now?

Peter Gabriel rules. That was totally my myspace profile song a day ago :P
 
I thought there were rotting corpses or at least some dead bodies.

All I see is faces.

Link please.

BTW is it wrong that I can't stop touching myself while viewing this?
 
The face of someone who has deceased is far more interesting and impactful than their decomposing body.

OK.

I expected to be shocked, moved, or feeling something though.

One or two of the statements they made before they died was a little sad, for the people that wanted to live, like the person that built up a retirement for no reason, but on a whole, it was pretty unimpressive.
 
Saw all, i dont see the art in this and im extremely open minded about art. It just doesn't seem different to me.
 
It didn't bother me 'til half way through, then it kinda reminded me of that weird feeling when my Stepdad died.
Really good read, kinda shows you how your point of view on life changes instantly during death.
