"It would become harder to execute men one after another, as is done in our country today, if those executions were translated into vivid images in the popular imagination."
~ Albert Camus

Celebrities and People of Notoriety Opposed to the Death Penalty
An original art project by Scott Langley, inspired by Robert Rosenheck's "LOVE" project.

This photo project is designed to develop a collection of photographs depicting outspoken celebrities and other people of notoriety who oppose the death penalty, by tying them all together by holding the same "I Oppose the Death Penalty!" sign. A kind of "visual petition," if you will. Musicians, actors, actresses, authors, politicians and others have a history of using their public positions to speak out on a variety of issues - including the death penalty. The following people have participated in the project thus far, with more to come.

This is an ongoing project and will be developed over time. Click on the name or thumbnail image to view the photo.
