I desperately want to title the After: "Afterlife". I have no title for the before, so pet peeve aside, I would call it simply "Untitled". The reason the skull appeals to me is that it reminds me of "Summer Days" by Georgia O'Keefe hanging on the top floor of the Whitney in their permanent collection. The first time I saw that painting it resonated with me deeply and I have to fight not to call it "Afterlife"--it spoke to me.
Of course, her oil on canvas from 1936 is art--no doubt about it. My amateur photography is inspired by it...rooted in it.
