resurrected Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 is really quite fascinating and disturbing at the same time. It was common practice in the 19th century. It's sort of made a comeback in the 21st century. People are being put into positions, like, sitting in a chair, or on a motorcycle, in front of a TV holding a game controller, playing cards, etc. It's creepier now than it was back then.

Get a couple good pics of that I have a strange fascination with looking at this shit and I don't know why. I couldn't look at it for a long time, due to anxiety, but now that I'm on some better pills, I can look at it again. Except the modern ones. Those are still to creepy. I've seen them one time and vowed to never look again. Caskets are another fascination of mine that I can't explain. I even have a tattoo of a modern casket, opened, on one of my arms.

tsar4 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 We did picture development through a 3rd party outfit and went on a field trip to see the operation. At the end of the trip they showed us these large spools of the picture runs. The rep is describing how they then take the spools, cut the individual pictures and match them to the correct envelope...but I'm just watching this one spool. It was picture after picture of this (late) elderly Black gentleman in his coffin. I mean, one or two pics - maybe, but I can't see burning a 36 shot roll of 35mm, just to show every angle of the dearly departed. They also had a bulletin board of weird pics people had sent in for development. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapinator_X Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I’m not a fan. It feels like staring into a void looking at pictures of lifeless bodies. It’s this memento mori kind of reminder that we’re all just husks, and I have to be in a certain mood to examine that idea and be like “yeah, that doesn’t make me feel depressed and put me into a nihilistic existential crisis about being born to fade.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sieg67 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) It kinda made sense back in the day. Cameras weren't common and getting your picture taken was kind of a big event. Post-mortem photographs were the last chance many families had to take a picture together. Now it's just weird.
