Thank you for the support and stars. This piece does seem to resonate with almost everyone who sees it.

I believe it. This piece brings up personal feelings of mortality as i stare at it. It does a great job of bring me into a specific moment while separating me from the figures staring back - and that reinforces the whole experience so well. Great work man.

Thanks Ray, your recent Guatamala pics are stunningly intense in the subjects you capture.

Thank you Fotis

Thanks for pointing out the clipboard as we are afterall there for data collection purposes in the mind of health care professionals.

Yes, like labrats. I also noticed the ankle straps, which gave me a feeling of impending doom -and - ' You better behave and lying still, or we'll be forced to tie you down '

I just had to go through it, that's all :)

I have 9 etchings posted already, am currently in process on 5 more.

Thank you very much.

All too true that we must take responsibility for our actions, health and well being, but when we are conditioned to follow the corporate line and constantly bombarded with those false ideals there is no chance for what little remains of our strength of will to take control.

Thank you, the 4 etchings from this series are all from point of view of the character who goes through a less than ideal life (violence from birth, hunger and shame from indifference, the trauma and fear of illness and ultimately the peacfull release of death)

Thanks, It just won a minor award at the 24th Northern National Arts Exhibition in Wisconsin, so it is starting to get some exposure.

Thank you for the astute observation, it is such a shame that society encourages this treatment of one another at the behest of those who would profiteer off all our pain and misery.

You hit the nail right on the head.

totally agree with Ramon here.!!..actually both of you ..!!

Thank you both, only if we could get rid of all the political power held by those who cloud the issue of healthcare and human rights in order to expand their corporate friends' pocketbooks!

looking for an answer or waiting for one...hhhmm

Yes, that is one of the essential paradoxes that exist when the individual is told that he/she must be independent, free-will, self-sufficient but then still follow the strict power structures and dogmatic principles that govern those institutions that hoard the power over us. Thanks Ed!

yes, very true

Only for those of us who have been through it and experienced what a cruel joke it really is!

I too, just last week. We are a kindred spirit aren't we dear Adolfo?

hope you came back ok Fotios....look like U R.. !!.. ;-)
