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?

  • Christine

    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.

    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 :D

  • Erin

    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. =]
