the story behind the photograph: layne stayley (alice in chains) died of a heroin overdose recently, and was found on the floor of his apartment.. two weeks later. one can only imagine the stench. i practically dislocated my shoulder taking this shot. it was backlit with a lamp that was sitting on my computer chair. and yes. that's my computer on the right. i focused with the foor i think. i wanted it fuzzy and washed out.. ive done some drugs but i can only guess at what heroin must feel like.

> Looks like a Hitchcock angle...?
i wish i was as cool as hitchcock.

apparently the only person that got the title right off the bat was ryan.

Awesome photograph. I love the idea, and the bleached whites of the photo really pulls the effect off well. Good job.

This had me wondering which way was up! Great composition, but I think a color photograph would have added to the mixed up feeling the composition seemed to be trying to convey. Great job overall though.

The lack of focus on any specific object really adds to this... a photo that seems to tell a story all by itself - very impressive

This photo started out in the middle of the pack with a 5 or 6 becasue it was a bit washed out.

As the week wore on I moved the photo up and up.

Originality, well photographed (needs a touch more contrast to the dop) moved this photo into my top 10. Nice job!

I'm very curious to find out what YOUR version of the "story" is behind the shot and title. I know what I've come up with, but I'll be interested to see if they match. Technically, I think this is a little over-exposed. I think I would have darkened things up a little bit -- make the whites not quite so washed out and the blacks a little darker. HOWEVER, with my version of the story, even having it a little messed up exposure-wise works, so....
