I find pictures of dead people fascinating from a sociological perspective.
Books I want:
Evidence
New York Noir
Scene of the Crime
Sleeping Beauty
The first three are crime photography - Evidence is NYC in the 1910s, Noir NYC from the '20s through the '50s, Scene is LA in a similar time period; Sleeping Beauty is Victorian "memento mori" - post-mortem photography.
I'll eventually have to buy 'em new; they're not the kinds of things that show up at Half Price Books very often.
It makes me feel kind of like I'm creepy, that I have an interest in this sort of thing.
