These photos are by Kurt Weston





Weston lost his sight in 1996 due to AIDS. in his work, he explores the facets of disease and decay.

He says, ""These photographs are about the realization of loss," he says. "About losing your facade. They say, 'This is your new reality. This is your strange new flesh. Let's take a look."





For contrast (and effect) these faces were scanned. This offers a high contrast of light and dark as well a a smushing effect that adds tot he artist's message.
