Its been a while since I last posted, mainly due to the crap internet connection on the ship but also due to being a lazy bastard when it comes to Photoshoping my photo’s.

Well I’m back at work and the Internet connection is worse than ever, at least I have it but only a fraction of an image loads on your sites before timing out. This post has taken me over a day to try and get it uploaded. We’ll be in port in a few day’s and things should speed up then. I’ll try and catch up with y’all then.

Polaroids for the deceased three

Haggis — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 02:15:18 +0000

The last from the cemetery, for now anyhow. For the people who can’t afford much they ‘rent’ a space in the wall. 5 years is the term and if the relatives don’t pay again the body’s are removed the space made available for somebody else. If you can afford a bit more you get your own bit off ground. Even there your relatives might turf you out if they want to reuse the space.
If you like what you see there is always the ’second hand’ market. I’m not sure how much they want for this space though.

Polaroids for the deceased two

Haggis — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 11:59:12 +0000

I promised you more dead bodies…… Just a bit later than I expected.

This was just to the left of Erika, the one on the ground was in a sticky puddle of slime which I had to stand in to get the shot.

Polaroids for the deceased

Haggis — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 01:48:55 +0000

Taken this morning in the local cemetery with the Polaroid 110A camera I recently acquired from Randy Smith at Holgamods.

I don’t think Randy had this type of image in mind when he sold me the camera!

Anyhow.. I used to go to the local cemetery quite a lot as I had a friend there, he was pretty much like this person except most off his body was in a cement sack. I called him Erik, didn’t know his real name but the presence was off a man. This one though feels like a woman, I can’t explain why but I’ve called her Erika.

As always you can click on the image for a larger view, go on, you know you can’t resist.
