James Pomerantz on the dark side of being a photo researcher: “As I’ve scoured the Internet, I have seen things that, for better or worse, I cannot forget… With the hope of maintaining my sanity so I can research for another year, I’m unloading on all of you just a few of the many odd images I’ve encountered this past year, captioned as I found them.”
