new angle

extremely powerful and evocative image.

Emotionally unsettling...

Incrediblely raw and sobering but beautiful. Makes me totally re-evaluate the 'realness' of the pretty landscapey tripe I've been shooting lately. The most powerful stuff I've seen in a while.

The panoramic format is usually used for landscapes or architectural work, so seeing this subject matter as a panoramic image intensifies its unsettling power Big Time. I find this one much more powerful than the "group snap-shot" because it's such a strong composition, reeks of symbolism, and makes me wonder about the people who work in the morgue and why they can be so consistent with their sutures, yet not align the nipples...

You have posted some of the most memorable photographs in the APUG galleries. There's been quite a few that if I see decades from now in some magazine or book, I'll instantly remember experiencing them here first.

I'll second Murray's praise. You have a unique vision and a very powerful body of work.

The unusual format of this emphasises the disturbing subject matter, makes me ask questions and see the world in a different way - surely the hallmarks of great art?

Wow, such great presence and composition that is just so original. Great use of format, and the subject matter is just loaded with impact. Great job.

Thank you all for your kind and encouraging coments... is not easy to work there, in all senses, conditions and emotions... anyways, I'm working on "The Death in Mexico" as a project for a book, and for deep personal reasons... this images are part of it.

I am fascinated by your project, Jose. These photographs are deeply moving, they touch subjects nobody (I hope) like to think about. Very brave work!
