I had an MRI of my lumbar spine a few days ago. It inspired a series of photos. Here's the story: http://goo.gl/h9iE8

Wow - there is real potential in a series like this. Not textbook stuff at all, but filled with design potential!

Thanks for sharing.

One other thought... as we pass middle age and head even further along life's journey, we can shift to photographing fossils! ;D

Naw, I don't like to do self-portraits.   ;)

Well, we could really, really revert to childhood and photograph each other's fossils! Wouldn't that be fun?

I went into my studio to photograph the skeletal remains of a lizard that I had found a couple of days ago inside the skimmer basket of our pool.

Holy Chlorine, Batman! Is this where The Joker found his identity?!

My guess is that you don't actually swim in your pool.   :D

I don't swim in the pool this time of year. The water is around 65 degrees. Too cold for me.
