CULTURE BUZZ – A series of photographs of terminally ill subjects taken shortly before and after their death are being exhibited in London.The photos depict 24 subjects ranging from a 17-month-old baby to an 83-year-old man. Like a much creepier version of Young Me/Now Me, the exhibit is challenging Western taboos about death and dying.
