Now noch mal leben: portraits of the dying didn't bother me at all. This series made me a little sick to my stomach. Death is natural, and there is no reason to fear it. War, and the destruction of a young mind and body is not. Choices are made, and we possess the free will to alter our behavior. Pardon me, but this project, and the subsequent billboard project is a fucking stroke of genius. Visit Suzanne, here.
