 The scarring on my shoulder in the foreground is from my cutting days that are now behind me. My friend Liz actually took this shot; I set it up and took some sample shots to show her how to frame it.

Quite possible the most disturbing photo this challenge, even more so than the actual self mutilation/ suicide shots. That's a good thing. 8

Are those self inflicted wounds on his arm there? And the scar on his shoulder? That is despair! Goods shot, although it seems a little grainy to me.

Are those real warts? I'd have them removed by a doctor if I were you. :)
