What freaks you out more blood or needles?

As an EMT I’m pleased to see all of the appropriate PPE in use. Where’d you get the phlebotomist?

From my point of view there’s nothing more tempting than blood. I remember once I cut my wrist accidentally, and the first thing that came into my mind was to take camera and make a photo. It was so bloody, but I really felt satisfied with the result, at least I’ve made the moment of so-known destruction memorable. And it felt great.
I am not quite afraid of blood, but needles do terrify me, cause you never know how deep they will get inside your body.
By the way, I once tried to paint with blood, but I have only mine, so I wasn’t able to create something huge and so breathtaking as you did, but I definitely can get to what you are feeling right now after completing such an affair. I congratulate you for fulfilling one of your desirable madnesses. They are worthy all the efforts all the time/ And all that keeps me fascinated with your art, so badly.

you with a fucking exacto blade is enough (or a really good way to begin)!

OMG – this is ‘bloody’ awesome! I love your projects – so graphic! I’m studying photography myself and you’re one of my heroes. You’re a fu**ing genius. People always complain about violence, blood and sex but these are the most moving themes in pictures and your pics always leave the breathless
I just love you man!
Madelaine

oh I forgot, I’m not afraid of blood or needles, but if I had to choose (someone would point a gun to my head) I would say needles

Oh my gosh I swear I thought I was going to be sick when you starting talking about the blood clots and the smell. I feel sick just thinking about it now and I watched this video yesterday!

Turned out wonderfully though. =]
