Last Suppers.

I can’t stop thinking about photographer James Reynolds’ series on former Death Row prisoners’ requests for their last meal before execution. From the full friend chicken dinner to the lone olive to the onion with a pack of mint gum. Morbidly fascinating.

    This is so interesting. Do you think it was due to budget costs that they ordered so little?

    Impressive series of photos indeed! But it's also sad to think about that gloomy part in history….

    Wow, craziness.
    It is sad + interesting at the same time.

    I have seen this series before! It IS morbidly fascinating. I can't imagine having much of an appetite knowing you are about to be executed. I'd probably be the lone olive gal….

    It is fascinating, but I can't help feeling horrible looking at them.
