Before and after death – A photo exhibit
Yet again, the fabulous Boing Boing have posted something which has simultaneously blown and rocked my mind.
German photographers Walter Schels and Beate Lakotta have a show of their extraordinary before-and-after-death photos opening on April 9 at the Wellcome Trust in London.
Wrenching and beautiful before-and-after-death photos – Boing Boing
It’s fascinating to see the images of those who have accepted death and the peace which has graced their faces in contrast with those that have experienced more suffering in the face of their time of death.
As someone who is still exploring my attitudes and feelings towards dying, I find this photo exhibit so valuable and useful. Not sure if I’d invite the photographers in to snap shots of my visage- I’m still attached and vain like that!

I saw that via MeFi. Absolutely amazing. A great reinforcement of the Buddhist idea that this human birth is precious and rare.
