Description
Okay, people, here's the thing....
I had a migraine the other day, so Jendon, kind soul that she is, gave me a couple of of endone tablets. Endone, for the uninitiated, is pretty much pure morphine.
Keep score, we're up to two.
An hour later, the pain hadn't eased, so Jen calls the ambulance. After being allocated a bed, and checked out, a doctor gives me two more endone tablets, kind soul that he was.
I hope you're keeping score, we're now up to four tablets.
I was now feeling a little better, but still in pain, so it was decided a little while later to give me two more endone.
Have you been keeping score, people???
We are now up to six endone. Which is as I said, is pretty much pure morphine.
After a while, the pain began to subside. A calm, relaxed feeling flooded my body. The world became a much happier place.
I started to think about photography. What was my next project? A portrait of my girl? A sunset? Or perhaps something more meaningful? Something symbolising the angst we all feel in a cold, impersonal, post-modern world?
"HEY!" a voice exclaimed in my head, (I now realise it was the endone) "why don't you take one of them little roses out the front, put it in some water, and put it in the freezer?"
And that's how I got this idea. My creativity just had to be jump started by being off my face.
Thanks for looking, and have a great New Year.

You have obtained a terrific result here with your idea. The Rose could possibly be preserved for ever in the ice. Fantastic image
very beautiful rose photo and effect
Cool idea in every meaning! Too bad you had to go through all this pain before. I wish you a great and, first of all, painless New Year too!
a beautiful creation
fantastic idea ! ( worth to follow, as I sure will do, that's the rose-on-ice, I mean, not the migraine)
!!! !!! Wow ... this is fabulous!! I'm sorry you had to be in such pain to come up with this idea, but boy, was it worth it! I mean ... as long as you were already there, I'm glad something came of it. This is absolutely stunning, brilliant work! Okay, now don't go doing drugs every day in order to repeat the performance. :P Your non-drugged brain is plenty creative on its own!
Well done Mike, Very creative
great image... hope you're fine now!!! all has a cause, even migraine... and you 'are what you eat' ;-D (check for 'additives', esp. 'food suppplies' as E621, E951? they are not friends ;-D and electromag. radiation and such) plenty of water should help!!! wishing you & your loved ones a WONDERFUL 2012!!!
