Can anyone help me out. In the movie "the others" there is a book Nicole Kidman finds where pictures of dead are taken and they are made to look like they are sleeping...childern, families, old people etc all posing as any living person would but there eyes are closed. Is that book or photography of such nature real?

I recall seeing a book with a very similar cover of a girl sleeping on a couch and it reminded me of that book from the movie...is such a thing real? I recall reading the name Lewis Carol as the author....

So anyone know anything about this?....any help appreciated, any links...thanks.

Lewis Carrol did not photograph dead people. He photographed children of wealthy families. The photo that you're thinking of is quite famous; the girl is really sleeping or pretending. There was a show in International Center of Photography a year ago or so; I can't believe you missed it. Lewis Carrol is also the guy who wrote Alice in Wonderland, and the girl asleep on the couch is posing as Alice.
