we apologize with the author
since no media except his own print
can give an idea of what is total beauty

my first reaction was that i had seen it all before. ive looked through those books of early medical experiments and "oddities" and seen some art inspired by it but thse photographs are too intelligent and elegant to pass off as just that. i sound like a jerk.

[Mr. Mang]

i own his book "Bone House". it's good. check it out. they sometimes have it at your local bookstore in the photography section. interesting stuff.

[SteveAustin]

I can just see that playing out. Soooo....do you have any hobbies?

why yes I do...I'm glad you asked.

haha. interesting shit regardless.

nightmares and fevers

[MisPantalonesEstaEnfuega]

does anyone have any background info on this guy? I've searched the internet up and down and all i could find was that when he was 6 he saw a girl get decapitated in a car accident and her head rolled down and stopped at his head.

A little background info would be nice.

[LaCosaNostra]

This shit is really fucking weird..Any insight, please..
