Artist's Comments

A simple needle can mean so many things; It can save the lives of the sick, and take the lives of the healthy. You can be the judge.


***Taken with a canon A70 digital camera. Originally photographed for a PTA contest at my school (Another Kind Of Hero Contest); which i won't find the results of for a few weeks. Model= my mother (A diabetic).

***New version shown - > Edited in photoshop to increase contrast and lower lighting.

Absolutely beautiful shot. And you are quite right. I have many people close to me who's lives depend on needles, and some who's lives have been destroyed by them. It is remarkable how such a small and simple thing can make such a huge difference in the world.

+fave, and I hope you win that contest!

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

A very interesting AND successful picture. The implications of what you say at the description are clear as day with one glance at the pic.

Yes, I saw this before. I still think it's great, though I don't think you told me it was your mother, and that she has diabetes. My grandfather had the disease, too.
