As part of my final semester at Corcoran's Photojournalism Core IV class, we (the class) decided to go with a Finality theme for our last assignment. Being as this is a vague/broad topic open to any variety of interpretations - I decided to pursue a more timely topic related to the Finality theme - road side memorials. The idea for the topic comes from the recent rash of Metro bus accidents here in the tri-state area. That is not too say that I will be covering only those that were related to the Metro accidents, merrily that it was the spring-board from which the idea had come from.



Over the next couple of weeks I will be up dating my progress on the road side memorials. Let me know which ones you like, and which ones you feel don't quite hit the mark. The project will concentrate on the moments of Finality for those that died, and if possible, to capture their final resting place. While the moment (time and place) of the individual who is remembered via the road side memorial (their final cognitive state) was at the scene of the accident; for those left behind (that moment of Finality) comes with their beloved one's being laid to ground. In conclusion, finality is all about closesure - for some it's the moment of death, for others it's about their acceptence.
