There's just something quite eerie for me about looking at a dead person. I don't know if it's cos we surround ourselves every day with people who are generally animated (even in sleep with heavy breathing. Noises etc) and then to just see like a shell of someone that's just empty and devoid of sentience it's like wow.

Some of the latter photos where they pose with the deceased babies kinda reminds me of that thread someone posted the other day where they did the same thing, can't imagine what they are going through in their heads while having their picture taken like that. Must be soul destroying.

Yeh one of the comments mentioned they took a long time. Fair play to them I suppose but I think it's a bit too morbid for me personally.

No. I don't think it's right at all, these people are dead and in most of the pics the photographers are trying to make them look alive, it's creepy and just odd imo, let them rest in peace.

Also is it bad I can't tell which are the deceased in a few of the pics? old photographs are really odd, or maybe it's just the way the people being photographed looked, I don't know.
