I thought it appropriate to notify you of my exhibition of memorial/postmortem photographs- Memorializing Infant Loss in 19th Century Photography. The exhibit is being shown at a conference at the University of Hertfordshire and opens July 16th. The conference title is Perceptions of Pregnancy…
The basis of the exhibit is my Sleeping Beauty Book series on memorial photography. The exhibit illustrates American and UK examples of postmortem portraiture. Your audience may be interested in some of my recent news items in NYTimes and NY Magazine- http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/27/nyregion/the-morbid-anatomy-museum-opens-in-brooklyn.html and http://nymag.com/health/bestdoctors/2014/cutting-edge-medicine-2014-6/
Our new photographic history website- www.burnsarchive.com. I don't know if the HBO/CInemax TV channel is available in the UK, but on August 8th they will premiere a ten part series - a medical melodrama essentially based on my medical photographs and stories. The director is Steven Soderbergh and the lead actor- England's - Clive Owen. It is about surgery in the year 1900 and is a very realistic and accurate portrayal.
