Life Before Death

photo by Walter Schels


I was reading ABC News just now and came across this article. It was about a photgrapher and another artist who put together a series of pictures they took at a hospice in Germany. The pictures show people, mostly in their 40s & 50s who are terminally ill. Then they show a picture of them after they have passed away. All of the pictures are in black and white. I found these very moving and decided to try and find a website with more information. The link above shows all the photos that are on display in Germany. It is hard to describe how I feel about the photos but they really move me and in a good way. I myself have had a brush with death and it has changed my life. I only hope that I am living my life now like I should be and to the most. I am not doing everything I wish I was doing, but that is because I am trying to make sure my son can live the life he wants without having to work as hard as his father and I. Please take a look at the website.
