Photographing dead children was a common practice during Late Victorian & Early Edwardian times.

This is what Oleg Dou based some of his art on.

Northern Lights and erupting Icelandic volcano produce stunning photographs by James Appleton.

Photographer James Appleton, 23, from Cambridge, risked his life trekking solo to the area and captured these incredible shots. The Cambridge University graduate spent five days observing the first phase of the eruption from a shack in nearby Fimmvorouhals mountain pass. He spent seven hours battling biting wind and freezing temperatures to get as close to the eruption as possible, against the advice of local guides. Despite being trapped inside a shack there for 48 hours, Mr Appleton managed to trek within 100ft of the volcano.

Film Noir - Your tears are not allowed to cry …

“A photograph should talk. Over and over again, varying each time it is viewed. Sometimes I use a title to give a hint, but solely leave it to the viewer to analyze. I believe the interpretation also depends on age, education, experiences of life, culture area, origin or sex. I do not really care ‘how’ my work is seen, as long as the photograph does interact at all.”
