I know it is a bit early in the day, but I found these photographs yesterday that haunted me all night (I exaggerate). →[More:]I searched for more images like those, but no others I found will capture your gaze like these will. One remarkable photographer that took those soul searing portraits.

I find myself guessing their names, trying to imagine what they were thinking at the moment their image was captured, what their personalities were like - some of them look awfully demented, what were they accused of doing to be there in the first place... I have favorites, and ones I find myself irrationally afraid of their ghost. Try it.
