RE: Washington Park Cemetary
...and another thing. News stations show horribly gruesome pictures of dead or maimed animals on a weekly basis. So why is it that my pictures are taboo because they are of a human? They are way less gruesome than the poor animals they show. It gets to the point where I have to change the station until they finish the story sometimes.
Or what about the Bodies exhibit? You PAY to walk around and look at/take pics of dead people. I'm just sayin.

Having seen her pics, I don't think Mandi did anything wrong. The one shot that had her friend in it wasn't posed, she just happened to be looking in the opposite side Mandi was at when she took the pic.
I think most people would have been curious enough to investigate it, I know I would have. It's not every day you come across exposed human remains in run-down cemeteries. And given that they'd been buried for like 100 years now, that would make me wonder what state it was in by now.
I think she was behaving in accordance with the role of a vigilante investigative reporter armed with a camera. I don't believe she crossed any lines and I found it interesting.

Oh, and just to clarify, when I say I'm not religious, it doesn't mean that I don't believe in God, or a heaven and hell, etc. I just think the best way for me to worship him is not in a church that WE built, but in the nature that HE built. There's too much corruption in the churches. When I'm walking in the woods alone, it's just me and him. You know what I mean?

I think it was NPR that ran a story about one of those exhibits. First there was Body Worlds, then there was a copycat called just "Bodies" or something.Mandi Milenko wrote: Or what about the Bodies exhibit? You PAY to walk around and look at/take pics of dead people. I'm just sayin.
The copycat one was accused of using bodies from illicit sources, some were saying that the bodies were actually executed Asian prisoners or various other dead persons who certainly did not give consent to be on display.

I went to one of those exhibits and my plan was to bring along a bag of beef jerky to eat while wandering through the exhibits.
But they didn't allow food inside...

Thank you Sub! My point exactly! I did not take my pics for monetary gain whatsoever.

Re: RE: Washington Park Cemetary
It's the sense in which it's done. If it's done with respect for the person, then I don't see a problem. If it's done without respect, then I can see a problem.Mandi Milenko wrote:I'm not religious at all, but I'm just throwing this out there. If its ok to look into an open casket at a funeral where you know the person, why is it not ok to be curious about an unearthed 90-year-old body of someone you don't know? People take pictures of dead bodies at funerals. Wrong as it may be, I have seen it happen, right in front of their family members. Also, I'm sure embalmers take before-and-after pics of their work too. Crime scene investigators also take pics. It's not like this kid's pictures are the worst things I've ever seen online. I've seen much, much worse.

I don't believe Mandi was disrespectful, based on her photos. She merely took photos of an unusual scene and shared them with us.
