    Checked your site, Very cool stuff up! particularly the full pic in your avatar. Quality on this pic is awesome but personally the content of this pic is downright disturbing.


    But what made you take this photo, and why? Id like to know the story.

    Thanks. =)

    Boredom made me take the shot. lol
    Before taking the photo, I had gotten a cut on my thumb so there were a pack on bandages sitting in front of me. I was playing with them when the idea just hit so I got up and took the photo. =D

    One question might be: "Is this a self Portrait?"

    Thank you. =D

    Actually, nope, I'm 100% Guyanese. But I love the word nightmare and I love the way it sounds it Dutch even more, so that's why I chose it. =)
    (But I do believe the Dutch ruled over Guyana for some time . . .)

    And, for the blood, I used corn syrup + red food coloring.

    Well I definitely like the shot, reminded me of some sort of Marilyn Manson cd cover.
    If I had to choose one thing I didnt like its the blood dripping down the lips. Looks a little to even, not random enough. May of looked even better if it were just the eyes..

    But great creativity nonetheless.

    Cheers

    Great shot.

    I gotta ask if you were in it, how many shots did you take while your eyes were covered?

    Thanks everyone. =D

    I took 43 shots with my eyes covered, trying out different angles and positions. But I liked this one the best.

    Most unusual and compelling image. Agreed, very well done. thumb.gif
    Gotta say I really like it despite how disturbing it is.
