Probably best not to view this at work.

Unless you work at a sex shop.



Ingredients: $2 mousetrap, $2.50 motorised Wind-Up Supra Jolly Pecker with the motor removed, tartare sauce, lubricant, fake blood (one of the various types I've made).

It's a wee bit different to the sort of image I'd normally shoot or post, but I wanted to try something a bit extreme... a bit Mapplethorpish... so it's almost a tribute... except it probably isn't unless it is... what do people think?

Hmm, where to start? First of all, I don't think the image warrants all those warnings of yours...

I'm still trying to decipher it, esp the various bits of debris and fragments lying around. The lighting is very suggestive, but I haven't found out yet of what.

My only critique point so far would be that all the bodily fluids look very fake.

Cheers
Steffen.

I'm glad it's fake!!
I do like the lighting.

Leigh,

I like it. Very unusual and creative. I'd agree though that fluids look very fake, e.g. blood doesn't look saturated enough. My first impression was that it was an egg masacre

Cheers

I like it and think it is very creative. I also agree the fake blood is probably not the right formula for close up work

Surely you could have used the real stuff for this - dedication to your art and all that...

It's a good shot and slightly confronting, but it almost like a spoof (if you will excuse the pun) on a confronting shot, I guess the fakeness of everything adds a lighter element to it. hmm I am not sure i am getting this across

Bugger.

Should've used the thicker stuff I've got laying around.

Yeth!

What bait did you use?
Or maybe you'd better not answer that...

My eyes were definitely watering looking at this shot but Gary's reply of "Yeth!" cracked me up!

There seems to be a plague of those little varmints around lately, Very creative leigh.

There is a another I now know that is as sick as me in our futile minds.

Well done.

Leigh, that's one of those images that makes me want to cross my legs.

'Interesting' is an view i will give you. I look forward to your next idea

That's actually the second time someone has told me that over this image.

I'm just in a experimental mood when it comes to photography, I think. I think I'm trying out some rather radical ideas from my point of view to see if I can enjoy the act of the setup and then the act of taking the picture.

You're both just beginners when ot comes to sick. Who do you think Leigh has as his role model and mentor ?
