Stick a needle in it

Is there really a drug problem?

There was a time when I could walk down the street and see somebody shooting up in the middle of the day without a worry in the world. Today, waiting for my train to come at central station, I glanced down at the ground and well ... guess what I found?

Camera: Canon EOS 50D

Lens: EF 50mm f1.4 USM (read the review here)

Settings: 1/100, f/3.2, ISO 500

In my opinion it's not really a problem if it isn't hurting other people. Drug users have made up their mind about their decisions, and if it doesn't pose a detriment to anybody else ... let them be.

Without a doubt this syringe should have been disposed of properly, but they atleast had the decency to put a lid on it.

Thinking about it, there are a fair few advantages to administering drugs intravenously but there's also quite a bit of disadvantages. You can educate yourself by clicking here.

About the photo, I used manual focus in live view to get exactly what I want. All the processing was done in Adobe Lightroom 2.3, only because it's so simple to get the desired effect.

So until next time, I leave you with a quote by the ever inspirational Salvatore Dali ... "I don't do drugs, I am drugs" :) Oh and kids, don't do drugs. If you do drugs you'll end up in prison, and drugs are very expensive in the pen.

To answer the question proposed earlier, testing for drugs won't solve society's problems ... we should really be testing for stupidity, ignorance and incompetence.
