• Suicide Is Contagious, a photo essay.

  • The idea for this project was to create a narrative through a collection of ten photographs.  I used a large-format film camera to shoot most of these and had a digital set up as back up in case the negatives didn't develop properly.  I believe it was a success and I'm very happy with the results.
