They call me a picky eater…
They call me a druggie…
They call me weird…
They call me lazy…
They call me C.P (Cerebral palsy)…
They call me a problem child…
They call me a joke…
They call me a scaredy cat…
They call me a faker for attention…
They call me broken…
They call me a burden…
They call me a fake…
They call me stupid…
They call me an alcoholic…
They call me contagious…
They call me retarded…
They call me a freak…
They tell me it is my own fault…
I am neither, I have diabetes.
I don't have enough insulin.
I can't help that I hav

DiabetesSugar on high
I feel I might die
My mouth is like sandpaper
Life is but a vapor
I feel at my worst
With a powerful thirst
I cannot believe my eyes
When I see the numbers rise

Sugar on low
No telling where I'll go
With my thoughts in a fog
I cannot last long
Drifting in the haze
Every hall is a maze
Cannot think, cannot tell
If this is life or hell

May God hear my pleas
To help me through diabetes

World Diabetes Dayby `electricjonny

Community Projects / Awareness / 2009 / Diabetes Awareness

Saturday, November 14^th, is World Diabetes Day, and this is the image I did for it

I didn't spend nearly as long as I wanted to on this, but I sort of did it at the last minute.

This is 8 macro shots of an insulin vial and a syringe at different focal points. Then I took the images and stacked them so that the whole image was in focus. I did some color and tone adjustments, and added the logo.

This is sort of gritty and grungy on purpose, since I wanted it to stand out and not be as clean and sparkly as this might have been. Diabetes is not a fun thing to have, and I wanted to show that here.

Enjoy

I'm looking for pictures that I can post to my Facebook for Diabetic Awareness month this year. Could I post this with a link back to this page?

`electricjonny Nov 2, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

Sure, go right ahead

Coulda just had the aperture to F/32 or something, No?

`electricjonny Dec 3, 2009 Hobbyist Photographer

Haha yeah, if my camera went to F32

It's a cheap point and shoot camera, so F8 is the smallest it goes. But even with a small aperture, being this close to the target means that the depth of field is really shallow.
