thanks for the comments folks.

meat is murder is the title of an album by the smiths, one of my favorite bands from the 80s. the album cover had a photo of a soldier that had the statement written on his helmet. when i put this shot together, that title immedietely came to mind. neat and i both have similar musical taste so i had a feeling she'd catch the reference. :)

for the shot itself, it's made up of some photos i took last year. the background is actually my "grunge" entry and the soldier (me) is an outtake from the military challenge. the helmet and jacket belonged to my dad who served in the us army during the korean war.

I need to read a story about this image. He looks like a soldier who has seen too much.

Quite dramatic, and I saw a turbulent mind before I saw your title. Well done.

There is something really creepy about these Cyclops images. In this case, it's very creepy which makes it a great concept and composition. Very nicely done.

Great storytelling image; very moody and sad.
