I would like to note that technically not as easy a shot as one might think. Of course it is a remote timed shot, the hand moves, the camera tries to find a focus point, flash is poor...meaning burning the image or darkish. And using the 580EX off flash with a cord was terrible. White pills were bad, too many colors were confusing so I had to cut back on the number of pills and my hands, etc etc

But, in the end, this is good work...even if I had to shoot it 30 times (and minus 12% of Red in the Channel Mixer post shot in Photoshop)....lol

Best Wishes, Traveller

Trav - you accomplished your goal excellently. Even if one didn't know about your condition, this is a thought provoking photo in 2013.

No, Shu, Please, not sad at all....that's Gabapentin, my anti-seizure, anti-convulsive, anti-epilipsy, med that changes my brain chemistry and hence...not the amount...but rather the texture of the pain...so very interesting and helpful!

The picture and title, Happiness, is meant to be...Happiness to a drug addict, a warning to a recovering addict, a potential suicide to even others, while to me, it really is happiness that I live in 2013 and have these available!

I often wonder what this condition would be like in 1911? Could I survive at all?

But See...The Death of Marat, Jacques-Louis David (good stuff, good write up)

However, I am please that my Artistic Goal was achieved and this unsettled you a little...this is exactly what I wanted (smile).

Best Wishes, Traveller
