Alone Together by Aristotle Roufanis

Alone Together is an ongoing photographic project by Aristotle Roufanis (b.1983 Athens, Greece), for which the London-based photographer takes photos of a large metropolis in a way that only tiny, individual apartment lights are visible. Hardly recognizable in the dark, some of the world’s most famous metropolis such as London, Paris, Miami, and Athens are transformed into sprawling canvases of anonymity, where countless people have decided to make their home but hardly connect to each other.  The project takes this phenomenon of social alienation in urban centers as a starting point and adds a positive, optimistic twist to it.

Stiff Pose Victorian Postmortem photography (140 Pics)

Postmortem photography or memento mori, the photographing of a deceased person, was a common practice in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The photographs were considered a keepsake to remember the dead. Child mortality was high during the Victorian era. For many children even a common sickness could be fatal. When a child or other family member died, families would often have a photograph taken before burial. Many times it was the first and last photograph they would ever possess of their loved one. Many postmortem photographs were close-ups of the face or shots of the full body. The deceased were usually depicted to appear as if they were in a deep sleep, or else arranged to appear more life-like. Children were often shown on a couch or in a crib, often posed with a favorite toy. It was not uncommon to photograph very young children with a family member, most frequently the mother. Adults were more commonly posed in chairs or even propped up on something.
