Hi guys,
Many a times, you find fishes dead in your tank, sometimes your favorite fishes too.
Do you consider it "perverse" to take a picture of a dead fish? I suppose there could be various reasons for taking a picture...
1. It was your favorite and you want something to remember it by.
2. The colors were so unbelievably beautiful when it died. (Especialy for Apistogramma sp)
3. You want to know what killed it and hope someone can tell you from the pictures.
4. It's a good photographic subject (?)
Though it's not as controversial as Benetton's AIDS advertisement campaign, I'm sure some will find it revolting (like pictures of diseased fishes). Others will argue that it's no different from seeing an artsy print of a dead bird/animal in a desert.
Let's hear some comments.
Cheers,
