Fake suicide spots

I'll post the full intro text for these shots once I've got the last of the images.
I'm mesmerised walking around these places as to the thoughts going through the minds of the people carefully laying down premeditated clues before they attempt to disappear as sucides.
For the suicide the place they commit is just part of the means to their chosen end - with the faker, the scene is as important as what they leave behind to be found: it is all part of an intricate fabricated plan. Regardless of whether they convince and for how long, the dedication and desperation needed is something to be admired.

All are being shot on the Mamiya with the 50mm and all on Ilford FP4.
