A book called "Death Scenes" that is filled with murder scene pics (stabbing victim), accidental deaths (two girls playing with dynamite, decapitated driver, suicide ( young boy who killed himself beacause of bad home life, various people who hung themselves). Yeah, check it out on Amazon. I was depressed for a whole week after I flipped through it. Thank You San Alejo for getting rid of my enemies. :-0
Thank You SO much Saint Expedite for your help 
Thank You Virgin de Guadalupe for helping my friend
Thank You Saint Anthony for returning my wallet to me untouched |

Are those mutually exclusive concepts? a psychotic is someone who just figured out what's going on | |

In light of my buddy Althom's comment, here's one that "haunts" me in a non-morbid kinda way.
On the one hand, I just love the composition: the suggested cycle of dependence between man and machine -- kind of like an industrial age yin yang. On the other hand, it's sad and lonely: a commentary that we'd finally reached the point in human history where we became slaves to our own drive for progress. It's just fascinating to me. (And the guy is buff and has a good haircut )...

There's a photo by Roy DeCarava that really stuck with me after I saw it...but I can not find it anywhere online..  His work is beautifully haunting enough as it is, but this one piece was just superb. It showed a black man walking down a city street from right to left, and a small child walking down the same street in the opposite direction...the man is caught looking over his shoulder at the child as they pass one another...and on the wall just behind his head, is a spraypainted skull, as if hovering over his existence...
Does that photo ring any bells with anyone??... | |

Here's another that just captivates me. I'd love to buy a print, but I have no information as its not official Dead Can Dance art.
It's subtle to the point of being disarming. Yet just who is this unseen girl? And, more importantly, is it our imaginations or is she actually... flying!?!

The daughter had blood on her and she was screaming to the heavens. The boy just looked dazed, and had an unbelievably tragic, faraway look in his eyes. That image has been on my mind for weeks.
I pray that those children receive the help they need, lest they turn on others down the line. Damn...  Follow this link, scroll down, click on the photo essay on the right. The pic I am describing is the seventh or eighth one in the essay. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/.../newsweek/ Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

I have no idea why the parents didn't slow the car down when told to do so (especially after warning shots were given)...but the faces of those children tears at your heart.. That was close to devastating to see. | |
