Sooooo much structure...

Last assignment for this batch. We were told to write a poem with a ridiculously ridged format (see if you can guess it), and the put them into a comic. I had originally wanted to maintain some semblance of originality by making my comic from a picture of a graveyard and using each of the tombstones as "panels," but that didn't work out because my camera apparently doesn't expose half my film to light at random intervals, so I lost the vast majority of my pictures. So here is what I wound up with instead.

The images themselves were made using darkroom techniques, and the only thing I did with photoshop was  the text an positioning. Any framing was done chemically. By the way, I'm not sure how effectively this was communicated, but I actually have a fairly positive view on death as a sort of freeing inevitability. Everyone is going to die, and the world is so old than virtually nothing we do will matter in the long run. The trick is to make the most of life while you got it, and see if you can help a couple other people while you're at it cause, hey, why not?
