"There is a much longer, very bizarre (not at all sinister) story attached to this which I will impart if anyone's interested. It involves a friendly nurse, a skin graft and some leeches... honestly..."
all ears.... |

| Thanks for submitting this one John. Not just because of recently being under the knife myself, but for the rationale you've written with it, and the difference of it. |

I have a puncture scar on my instep that I got when I was 6 years old. I was riding my brother's bike (5 Speed Schwinn Stingray) with bare feet. I had to push off from the porch step to actually get the oversized bike going and my foot slipped and hit the larger gear. The scar looks like fang marks on my foot. ;-D I call it my vampire bite.
This is a cool scar. It looks like it must have been a painful lesson about practical joking, though. I have attention deficit with hyperactivity and I have the scars to prove it. In addition to the vampire scar, that summer I was viciously bitten by a dog (a Westie) I had been told not to mess with, requiring 25 very precise stitches to sew my upper lip back on and later plastic surgery. A few weeks later I crushed 1/3 of an inch of the tip of my middle finger by slamming it in the door.
I have a few scars on my wrist and arm and knuckle (the cat bit right down to the bone of my finger) from a feral cat I was told not to mess with. This was when I was 24 so you would think after 18 years I would have learned.
Now I regret not given this a higher score. I think the title and the X-Acto blade threw me off. I thought it was an interesting shot and well done but it seemed like a weird cult thing.
After reading what I just wrote about some of my own scars, I realized that I had a brief notion of photographing my right hand with my middle finger up. That is the one that is has a chunk missing. The nail grows really wierd and you can see the flesh of my finger under it. It has been Over 30 years so I'm so used to it I don't notice it, but every now and then I'm able to see it with fresh eyes and it is rather fascinatingly ugly. I decided against it because I wasn't up to futzing with lighting. I didn't enter anything.
Kudos for being your usual defiant self and entering this.

| I really like the photo, very powerful, but there's something about the title bugging me... Probably the how "wizard" brings up an image of children in my head. Probably that's just me so I won't let it affect my voting. 9 |

| I'm not sure what it all means, but I think I get an inkling. Very nice photo. |

| Maybe if it was made on your wrist where your vain is then yes it would be extraordinary. |
