Description I had this dragonfly upper body for quite a while,but haven't gone around using it until a few weeks ago.Or a month ago I think.
The wings were pretty and wonderful to photograph!
I used a blank page from an old comic book because it had this smooth and aged look to it.It's not obvious in the picture,but works a lot better than pure-white A4 which would've made it look cold and clinical.

When I got the dragonfly from my grandma's garden,it was missing the lower body already.So I only have the upper part.

While taking pictures of it,the wings itself didn't really fill the frame properly so I decided to extend and "implant" a body.
The object that looked best was the glass syringe!

This picture took more than 3 hours to make.
It might look very very simple,but I spent so much time trying to get the right objects to put beside it
Hahaha.

I love how even though the objects are all completely random, they all look amazing together. Plus, I love the lighting. Wonderful job.

Hahaha.Actually, the dragonfly was already dry,but then again I used to dissect a dead gecko by my own volition
Thank you!

Weirdness is like the occasional street oddity that reminds you how surprising and exciting the world can still be eh ?

Indeed! Why be normal when you can have much more fun being weird?

Camiloo In reply to LostInAPhotograph [2011-04-02 17:22:31 +0000 UTC]

Well said sir!
But "normal" itself is quite hard to wrap your head around.
Norms always shift.

LostInAPhotograph In reply to Camiloo [2011-04-03 18:26:21 +0000 UTC]

I guess that's true, too. I just don't like the word normal very much. xD

Miss,then?
Sorry for that

I like the word normal!
It's very comfortable.
I love it when roads and safety regulations are "normal".
Wouldn't want THEM to be all rebellious and crazy and abnormal.

Maku94 In reply to Camiloo [2011-03-31 15:58:48 +0000 UTC]

Mmh I don't know, maybe because it's quite strange - and the body is a syringe, that makes me think about hospitals and all that stuff.. but i suppose that's why it's interesting, because it's hard to understand what it means..
