New Malady of the Month on Toxic Epidermal Necrosis!

I finally decided that instead of making the long-delayed Camera DeMentia a photo album, I'd just create a photo blog, since I've been doing so much photography lately anyway. So, if you're interested in photography - not just of a morbid bent - please head on over to my new Camera Dementia blog. It will be updated frequently and I hope you enjoy it!

So, lately I've been completely obsessed with photography thanks to recently acquiring both a Holga (ie. a cheap plastic camera that takes dreamy, atmospheric pictures) and a Brownie Hawkeye Flash (circa 1954) camera. I've been taking lots of pictures and developing my own film, then scanning the results. I've been getting my technique down with these two great cameras with plans of taking pictures of morbid sightseeing spots in Chicago for my forthcoming book. (Yes, it WILL eventually see the light of day!!!)

Anyway, I've been posting lots of pictures to Flickr groups and I thought there was a definite need for a Morbid Sightseeing group there - so I created one. Please feel free to post any morbid sightseeing photos you may have taken - original photos only please! - to the group. "Morbid sightseeing" is a broad spectrum that may include, but is not limited to, the following:

Graveyards/cemeteries/mausoleums
Morbid museum exhibits or public artwork
Historic buildings such as old prisons, asylums, hospitals, torture chambers, markets, etc.
Sites of historic or modern tragedies such as murders, suicides, accidents, fires, drownings, warfare, etc.
Abandoned buildings

Please include detailed descriptions of your photos so that we can thrill in the grief tourism with you.

I've added a few pics myself, but will be adding many more in the future. I hope to see some of you there! It's lonely in there right now...

Here's my flickr page if you'd like to see what I've been up to lately. Eventually I'll put some of my better photos on my website, but it's easy to compile them at Flickr in the meantime:
