Fourth Year, Week 2

A few images I've been working with over the past two weeks.  All images are scanned using a flextight negative scanner, with minimal editing in photoshop;

I really like this image, although I'm going to reshoot with a smaller aperture as the depth of field is really irritating!

"A beautiful photograph can the object of rueful feelings, because it has aged or no longer exists.  All photographs are Momento Mori.  To take a photograph is to participate in another person (or thing's) mortality, vulnerability, mutability.  Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to times relentless melt."
