 ancient death tarot
As photographers of the modern day, we know that our pictures should outlive us. While this may never change, there is a company out there that promises to let you, your pet, or your loved ones live vicariously through you photographs.
Inkafterlife.com will use any ashes you send them to make a special inkjet ink and then print an edition of prints from them. I really think that Roland Barthes would have enjoyed writing about this company and probably would have had his mother made into a very Punctum picture.
My question to you all is what image you would want printed? Something you've made? An image of you at your happiest? Something more... ambiguous? Please tell. |

For those of you who went to SPE in Tallahassee a couple of years ago, you'll remember Samuel Yates' painting of an unknown painter, using the unknown painter's ashes after he died. Now the unknown painter is immortalized forever in the collection of the San Francisco art museum (I believe).

A family friend died a month ago, and her ashes were tossed into the Chesapeake Bay, off of the end of the dock at her family's summer cottage. I've always thought that I would want the same done with my ashes. It seems kind of sick to be buried on paper, but I guess it might be worth it if you could rest eternally inside a museum. Otherwise, it's entirely too creepy.
