DSS #36: "When pigs fly..."

hmmm--not creepy for me. Kind of jealous you have access to that shot--running very low here.

On second thought, maybe if it was titled "last remaining dose" than that would be scary--maybe that's what you are going for.

Sorry to be of both opinions.

Needles and hospitals creep some people out. And H1N1 is definitely creeping some people out. Neither bother me, but then not much does.

Maybe more dramatic lighting?

I don't know that the shot is that creepy. It certainly isn't to me. But there is an interesting paradox here. I think quite a few people would look at this and be freaked out by the needles and the idea of injections, others would look at it and be worried by the H1N1 implications, others would worry more about the idea of vaccinations in general, and lastly, as above, some might worry about the availability of the shots. I personally injected 134 kids this morning. (Though these were unused needles.)

I think the shot and your interpretation have got a lot of potential. The only nit I have about it is the needle in the foreground because it's in the way. When I first saw the photo, it was that needle I noticed instead of the vaccine package. I think if you reshot it with better DOF or eliminated that needle in the foreground you got yourself a damn good creepy entry.

I see where your going with this. Might be freaker if you had a pig face drawn on someones arm and the needle hanging out the 'nose' of the pig! Of course you would have to be giving the shot to someone. But needles don't bother me...what bothers me is seeing a needle go into flesh...ick!

I see where you are going with this Greg, like you it doesn't creep me out but it may do others. I agree with Linda that the foreground needle grabs my attention & keeps pulling it away from the rest of the shot.
