Description

This deviation is participating in the "SKIN" contest Visit *bunkmate4's journal for more information.

Well, here's something done in colaboration with Lana (again). :lmao: We were sitting at home thinking what to photograph, when she asked me: "Have you entered a photo to the "skin" contest yet?!" Um... Noooo. :slow: So, we decided to make another love related one. This was her idea: I ran this safety pin through the upper part of my skin (didn't hurt much :lmao:), and then she pulled at it, pulling the entire patch of skin and creating this simple effect. :)

What's the point? :)

This is another physical representation of love and the tension (both positive or negative) it can create between people. Sometimes you just love so much it feels like you want to pop out of your skin. :D :lmao: Anyway, see what you wanna see in it. ;)

Lighting: One incandescent lightbulb, 100W
Exposure parameters: Super-macro mode, ISO50, shutter speed 1/100, F3.2
Digital darkroom: adjusted color levels to tone the photo

Hope you like! :D Thank you for viewing! :thanks:

We used to do this in school all the time- people hated it and said to stop it. It doesn't even hurt if you do it right, it's just the top layer of dry skin. And we weren't doing it to hurt ourselves, just be rebellious :P

I like the effect tho, and the fact that this idea came to your mind in the first place!
