This new life of mine is measured in countless, blessed and beautiful moments captured in photographs. The most pivotal one called 'December Gazing" and this one above of me infront of Buddy Guy's louge/club in Chicago July 2007 taken shortly after embarking on the greatest trip of my life, a trip and adventure to last a lifetime. Photography saved me in so many ways and now, for what it's worth, I live and breathe it. At a time when everything was out of control photography was the only thing I had control over. It's taught me to be/live in the present and not only capture but truly appreciate and savour the moment.
It's no wonder I'm rather passionate about photography; it lead me to Marshall, (a.k.a PhrankPower) the love of my life. Never did I ever dreamed or dared imagine I'd ever come to experience, let alone, dwell happily with a love of this breath and depth. I feel truly blessed and at times as Ebenezer Scrooge said "I don't deserve to be this happy!"
The galleries here continue to inspire me to do better as a photographer and to dream bigger dreams. The world is a vast beautiful and wild place, I thank you all for sharing pictures of your world and life. I appreciate your views and time. Comments for improvement is always appreciated and welcomed.
And be sure to... "Live like there's no tomorrow, love like you've never been hurt, dance like no one's watching."

They are 5/325 Oxycodone, Acetaminophen (generic percocet)... Your writeup is all too true... Too many people think that a pill can fix every problem...

Very true and you captured the subject well. Good lighting and composition.

And yet Alcohol and Cigarettes are legal and all some can afford. Should only the rich have access to medication? Now pills to heal your twitchy leg syndrome I get, not to mention the commercialization of drugs. They no longer cure diseases only give you drugs to keep you taking drugs... I will say I agree with you and was drawn into why you did this image but pain is nothing to make fun of and chronic pain is something some people face everyday mostly without drugs.Or is all physical pain in peoples heads? And I am curious can you heal pain with pictures or words? Speaking of healing within can you make my Colon better before they take it out?

DOH I thought that was the new 512mb pain reliever for the matrix.... No I'm only teasing there... I think this is an excellent... You've captured it in the ideal light and your setup is perfect! Excellent compo too! Thanks for sharing :) Hope you are keeping well.

Now if anybody remembers the number 713, well, then you probably never took them! Looked just like this! I can almost remember them! Great shot! My liberated parents They are gonin' out tonight Dad's wearin' real tight Levis And some Gucci Tennis shoes Mom's hair's all green and dirty She wears a high tech Devo Suit She changed her name to Xerox She hides QUAALUDES in her boots Oh, me, I'm all real embarrassed When I hear the things they do I get a kiss good-bye I get all numb and high From all the smoke left on their breath I smile and wish them well Then I pray like hell They go and dance themselves to death! ~Alice Cooper~

I love this shot! I like the arrangements of the tablets, the depth of field of the shot and the lighting. The only thing I would do differently is "sponge" the tablets a little bit to make them whiter. They look a tad too yellowish (because of the incandescent lighting)

Seriously, being a cancer survivor that has kicked all Dr. recomended drugs, changing ones diet and lifestyle, and having some faith works wonderzzzzzzz! Good post of the times. ;-)
