Jeez, they must have some busy days in the morgue!

Jeez, they must have some busy days in the morgue!

It is the county morgue. I shot the space early in the morning, before they bring the bodies out. After I got the empty shot, I hung around for the posted shot with one visible body. They typically bring out 6-7 for a morning's session, almost all gun and knife victims. I was working for the design architect when I took the photos, and I did the field work on the project. I saw a lot of bodies! Funny how you get used to it.

Salton Sea "Fish"

There were thousands of dead fish. It smelled bad, needless to say my wife and I did not stay long. It was right after a rain storm which causes waves/current to kill the fish up against the shore.

so what do I do? I bring one home!

IMHO this is excellent. Might be the Weston-like lighting and simplicity of composition that I'm a sucker for but I like the juxtaposition of the nearly celebratory brilliance of tone with its hooked/helpless deadness.

Thank you so much!

rpalm, a fine piece of work with some marvelous textures. Just the kind of image I'd like to sneak over and put in the living room of my Texas "bowhead" neighbor.
