it is true that joel peter witkin's work is grotesque and at times horrifying, but what many overlook is the detail and care and, dare i say it, beauty, of his photos. you don't have to have a taste for the morbid to see how much preparation his work takes. he sees beauty in the dark side of life and in doing so takes a power away from the things that go bump in the night and plague the psyche.
