Thanks for that, John.
I believe that with the progress of affordable forensic-like apps, there will arise a similar disgust for much contemporary photography. I believe there will be sites that scour the web to disclose abominations of all kinds. (!! A retirement project for me!)

It's not so much the decedents, but the wrenching sorrow on the faces of the survivors that speak to me.

John K, you are probably familiar with Wisconsin Death Trip.
I mention it for the rest.
If you ever wished subjects would hold still....
By a strange co-incidence, the Danish Press Photograph of the Year was selected yesterday.
It was a modern (colour/digital) photo of deceased 6 year girl, surrounded with toys/flowers and, I suppose, her friends from the Kindergarden.
Published in my (reader, not owner!) National newspaper (Politiken) to-day!
They had (maybe still up) an amazing collection of Post Mortem photos, including some modernish ones, at the UCR Photography Museum in Riverside, Ca.
Fascinating viewing...
