good job, I don't know if id have the balls to take the shot . . . but at least you know their occupied and where probably too concerned with getting their fix to chase you down.

Actually they had just started.
As soon as I passed them and realized what I just saw..
I turned around,set the exposure..took a really deep breath.
took a couple of sips of rum and went right up to them and fired two shots.

just started... so the only thing they where worried about was, "get er in there" lol... but still, you have spine... rum, or rye would have been a must for me, good old liquid courage.

jadedPhotographer In reply to Tepara [2011-10-03 10:03:32 +0000 UTC]

Actually, you rarely see them using syringes.This was the first time I did.
They mostly inhale it through a foil tube.

jadedPhotographer In reply to Tepara [2011-10-03 10:59:50 +0000 UTC]

It's illegal everywhere. They normally hang around dark shady places
and get high early mornings or in the late evenings.

No,they don't have right to spread this poison..your title certainly suits "shoot them up" .

It says "shoot" as in syringe and not a gun.

MischiefofRats [2011-09-18 17:43:59 +0000 UTC]

This is such a great shot. The tension and secretiveness is so clear, even before you notice the needles. It's so perfect that the guy in the back is in yellow--the color and direct gaze catch your eye so quickly, despite the fact that the focus is towards the front. It leads to a really nice progression of the eye through the picture--and I personally didn't notice the needles until last, which makes the danger sort of sudden and shocking. Anyway, the lighting and focus is really nice for the picture, too.

This is a very real shot, so very journalistic. Just awesome.
